555 timer missing pulse detector Items tagged with 555 timer missing pulse detector

This circuit is a missing pulse detector, i.e., it can be used to detect missing pulses in an incoming pulse train. The main component of this circuit is the 555 timer IC. In this circuit, it is configured as a monostable multivibrator, i.e., a circuit which will output a single pulse every time it is 'triggered'.

Every time a pulse arrives at pin 2 of the 555 timer in this circuit, the 555 is ... Read Compelte post
