Dual timer
NE/SA/SE556/NE556-1
DESCRIPTION
PIN CONFIGURATION
Both the 556 and 556-1 Dual Monolithic timing circuits are highly
stable controllers capable of producing accurate time delays or
oscillation. The 556 and 556-1 are a dual 555. Timing is provided by
an external resistor and capacitor for each timing function. The two
