TLC556CD datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLC556CD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of TLC556CD?
  The TLC556CD can operate up to 2.1 MHz, but the maximum frequency is dependent on the specific application and the values of the external components.
• How do I choose the correct values for the timing resistors and capacitors?
  The values of the timing resistors and capacitors depend on the desired frequency and duty cycle of the output signal. A good starting point is to use the values recommended in the datasheet, and then adjust them based on the specific application requirements.
• What is the minimum and maximum supply voltage for TLC556CD?
  The TLC556CD can operate with a supply voltage ranging from 4.75V to 18V.
• Can I use TLC556CD as a voltage regulator?
  No, the TLC556CD is a timer IC and not a voltage regulator. It is designed to generate a timing signal, not to regulate voltage.
• How do I synchronize multiple TLC556CD timers?
  To synchronize multiple TLC556CD timers, you can connect the trigger inputs of each timer together and drive them with a common clock signal.
