Working Principles

The LM555CMM/NOPB operates based on the charging and discharging of an external capacitor. When triggered, the internal comparator compares the voltage across the capacitor with the threshold voltage. If the capacitor voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the output switches from high to low. Conversely, if the capacitor voltage falls below the threshold voltage, the output switches back to high. The timing characteristics can be adjusted by changing the values of the external resistors and capacitors connected to the IC.
