In one IC package, the 556 IC contains two distinct and independent timer circuits. It works in astable or monostable mode, and timing or delay can be modified with an external resistor-capacitor combination, just like the 555 timer IC. The NE556 dual monolithic timing circuit is a highly stable controller and capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillations.
Features

- Max. Operating Frequency >500kHz
- Tuning from microseconds to hours
- Operates in both monostable and astable modes
- Output can source or sink current up to 200mA
- Adjustable Duty Cycle
- TTL Compatible
