It is composed of two sections. The first section allows the study and the experimental checking of the Schmitt trigger. Also two typical applications of this circuit are analyzed: threshold detector and clipper.
The second section is dedicated to the study of the 555 integrated circuit.
This is a flexible and widely used integrated circuit. It is used to generate delays, pulse trains and adjustable duty‐cycle square waves.
The board allows to analyze the block diagram and to experimentally check the most widespread applications. The board is supplied complete with a set of stackable, plug‐in suitable lengths and colours and with a training manual.
Power supply: + 15 Vdc, 50 mA
Experiments
• Analysis and study of Schmitt trigger operation • Use of Schmitt trigger as threshold detector and clipper
• Analysis of the block diagram of NE 555 integrated circuit
• Use of NE 555 as astable and monostable multivibrator
