Components Required:
IC 555 timer, Resistors (1KΩ×2, 10KΩ×2, 2.7KΩ), Variable resistor (10KΩ), Capacitors
(0.01uF, 0.047uF, 0.1uF, 1uF), and Diodes IN 4148×2.
Procedure:
1. Configure the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
2. Use R1=1KΩ, RA= 2.7KΩ, RL=1KΩ, CT= 1uF, CD= 0.047uF, C=0.01uF, and Vcc=10V.
3. Compute the expected values of pulse duration.
4. Apply square wave input of frequency 1KHz at terminal N of circuit diagram.
5. Connect the output terminal (pin 3) to channel 1 of oscilloscope. Also feed the voltage
across capacitor to channel 2.
6. Power on the circuit. Determine the values of pulse duration from your simulated design
observations and compare with theoretical values.
