That was one of the best 555 tutorials I've seen in ages, and the graphics both on the chip and at the right side made all the difference to helping understand it... Thank you so much!

Finally someone explain that the capacitor is the key for changing the output state in the astable mode, other videos just throw formulas at your face and just skip the key of the thing with some "you just suppose to know that" vibes, what a shame. Appreciate it!

6:48 If anybody who reads this is curious how to derive that t=1.1*C*R result, its simple. capacitor --------| |-------- | | | \ | / resistor | \ | / | | | __ Vcc __| constant Dc dq = i dt i = dq/dt Using Kirchoff's law, q/C + R i - Vcc = 0 R (dq/dt) = (Vcc . C - q) /C dq/ (Vcc - q) = dt/ CR Apply integration on both sides with limits LHS.. from 0 to q, and RHS..from 0 to t. then you will get, - Ln ((Vcc .C - q) / Vcc .C) = t/CR From this we can easily get this result, i.e q= Vcc. C (1- e^(-t/CR)) since q=CV, V = Vcc(1- e^(-t/CR)) Now apply V= 2/3 Vcc in this formula, you will end up with t= ln(3). C. R [ln(3) = 1.0986 = 1.1(approx)] Happy learning!

Kevin Byrne - congrats are - extremely - premature. Really, pal, why would you say this? He is very difficult to understand now and of you tell him he is “great” talking english, he might STOP trying to improve. In this way you actually HURT his progress.

I agree with Kevin. I already knew most of this, but it is an excellent video. The 555 timer is a "killer app" example of an integrated circuit. It's simple, elegant, and versatile! The criticisms of his English are unfounded. His English is very good. His accent is still very strong, but I had no trouble understanding him. Accents only go away with time and exposure to native speakers, which not everyone has access to.
