description
These devices provide two independent timing circuits of the NE555, SA555, or SE555 type in each package.These circuits can be operated in the astable or the monostable mode with external resistor-capacitor (RC) timing control. The basic timing provided by the RC time constant can be controlled actively by modulating the bias of the control-voltage input.
