7.1 Application Information

The TLC3555-Q1 timer device uses resistor and capacitor charging delay to provide a programmable time delay or operating frequency. The TLC3555-Q1 can directly drop-in or upgrade most 555 timer applications. The reduced propagation delays and tighter tolerances of the TLC3555-Q1 can lead to slightly discrepant results when directly replacing legacy CMOS timers for high-frequency astable and monostable applications. Assess board-level parasitics before selecting final values for timing components. While the TLC3555-Q1 output sinking current rating is comparable to a bipolar timer, the sourcing limit must be respected and considered when the TLC3555-Q1 is used as a drop-in replacement for a bipolar 555 timer.

The following section presents a simplified discussion of the design process for some unique applications of the TLC3555-Q1.
