Thomas Gruber has introduced an app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad that performs 555 timer circuit calculations and simulations.

The app provides 10 different circuits, shows results in "real-time" when values are changed and has two pages with electrical characteristics and packages. It also goes into details of the various key circuits of the 555 timer IC and offers slider inputs for resistor and capacitor values, as well as TACT switches and LEDs to simulate the behavior of the various circuits.

List of Calculators:

# Monostable Operation:
for doing simulations with the 555 Timer IC in monostable mode.

# Bistable Operation:
for simulating a circuit with the 555 Timer IC wired for bistable operation.
