Usage Information

The NTE978C CMOS dual timer IC simplifies the development of complex timing tasks by integrating two highly stable timers on a single chip. Ideal for use as a 555 or 556 timer equivalent, it allows engineers to implement adjustable delay and pulse functions for control, timing, and signal conditioning applications. Each timer can be individually configured for either astable (oscillator) or monostable (one-shot) operation, supporting flexible timing adjustments based on resistor-capacitor (RC) network values.
