IC 555 timerTime Delay Mode
• In the time delay mode, the delay is controlled by one external resistor and capacitor.
Example: Turn a light on in a delayed amount of time.(Just turn on or off once)
Oscillator Mode
• In the oscillator mode, the frequency of oscillation are controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor.
Example: Can make a light flash a specific rate.(Can turn on and off repeatedly)

Oscillator mode = astable multivibrator mode
Translation: in this mode the IC 555 will continue to put out pulses until you remove the battery. (your choice of resistors and capacitors determines the vibration frequency)
The 555 timer is a two state device: HI and LOYou can be a two state device too……

Thermistors
What do you predict will happen to the resistance of the thermistor as it ascends into the atmosphere?
Temperature dependent ResistorsR = resistanceT = temperaturek = temperature coefficient
Two types of Thermistorsk = positive (PTC)K = negative (NTC)
Our resistor is an NTC thermistor with a range of
10 kΩ – 80 kΩ

Experiment a bit
Monday July 14, 2014 IC 555 9
Experiment by using the Thermistor in place of R2.
You may use the spray coolant to cool the thermistor – but be careful it can get super cold!
1. How does reducing the temperature of the thermistor change the output of the IC 555 timer?
2. What evidence do you have to support this?

Key Points
Monday July 14, 2014 IC 555 20
The 555 timer works with 2 resistors (one of which is temperature dependent) and 1 capacitor to
establish an oscillation in the circuit.
The 555 timer output has two modes: ON and OFF and it turns whatever device it is connected to
ON and OFF at a rate that depends on the changing resistance of the thermistor (which
depends on temperature)!!!
