SNAS548D February 2000 – January 2015 LM555
PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM555 requires a voltage supply within 4.5 V to 16 V. Adequate power supply bypassing is necessary to protect associated circuitry. The minimum recommended capacitor value is 0.1 μF in parallel with a 1-μF electrolytic capacitor. Place the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the LM555 and minimize the trace length.
