Description:
The NE556N is a dual version of the 555 timer IC, housed in a 14-pin package. It combines two independent 555 timers into a single chip, making it ideal for applications requiring multiple timing operations. Each timer is capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation and can be used in monostable (one-shot) or astable (oscillatory) modes.
