NE555 IC: The NE555 IC is the basis of the power circuit, also known as the 555 timer IC. These highly reliable and cost-effective integrated circuits combine 23 transistors, 2 diodes and 16 resistors in an 8-pin package. Operating over a wide voltage range, the NE555 can generate precise timing signals from microseconds to timer timings using resistors and capacitors. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for pulse generation, delay circuits, frequency design and pulse width modulation (PWM) applications.

Pin Configuration of NE555 IC: Understanding the pin configuration of the NE555 IC is crucial for setting up and maintaining uptime. 8 pins are reserved for the IC to perform many functions:

  1. GND (Ground): Used as a power connection.
  2. TRIG (Trigger): Start timing loop, follow input pin.
  3. OUT (output): Generates timing signals as output pins.
  4. RESET: Stop or reset the timer with a reset.
  5. CTRL (Control Voltage): Use external voltage to set threshold and level.
  6. THR (Threshold): The duration of the timer is determined by the threshold.
  7. DIS (Discharge): Removes the timer from the output pin.
  8. VCC (Positive Supply Voltage): Provides positive supply voltage.

BD139 Transistor: BD139 is a popular NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) widely used in electronic circuits. Designed for general purpose amplifier and switching applications. The transistor is in the TO-126 package for easy mounting on the printed circuit board. With a maximum collector current of 1.5 amps, the BD139 can handle high power levels. It is rated at 80 volts and is suitable for low to medium power applications. The transistor exhibits high efficiency and low noise performance, making it suitable for audio amplifier circuits and signal amplification work.
