The Senior Pillbox aims to provide a low-cost, fully electronic circuit-based solution with minimal human intervention ...

In the classic configuration and most variants of the astable 555 multivibrator circuit, the timing characteristics are based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor. However, it can be argued ...

[FightCube] wrote in recommending a very helpful piece of circuit simulation software for those of you still constructing entries for the 555 design contest. LTSpiceIV, available from Linear ...

Circuits employing the popular 555 timer circuits are often reliable under many conditions. When you use them in electrically noisy environments, however, the timer can produce a false trigger, no ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.

The MAX6821 through MAX6825 microprocessor supervisory circuits offer reset thresholds capable of monitoring system voltages from 1.8V to 5V. Whenever a supply voltage falls below the reset threshold, ...
