Hand Sketched
• Hand sketched schematic diagrams refer to diagrams or plans that
have been drawn manually by hand, typically showing the layout or
arrangement of components, parts, or systems in a simplified and
visual manner. These diagrams are often used in various fields like
engineering, architecture, and electronics to illustrate how different
elements are connected or organized.
Advanced electronic components
• Advanced electronic components typically refer to cutting-edge or
high-performance devices that play crucial roles in modern electronic
systems. Some examples of advanced electronic components include:
Kinds of Advance electronic components
1. Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs): These are reconfigurable integrated circuits
used to implement complex digital circuits.
2. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs): Customized integrated circuits designed
for specific applications, offering higher efficiency and performance.
3. Microcontrollers: Integrated circuits with a processor core, memory, and peripherals, used
for embedded systems and IoT devices.
4. MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems): Miniature devices combining mechanical and
electrical components, utilized in sensors, actuators, and other applications.
5. Gallium Nitride (GaN) transistors: These high-speed, high-power devices are increasingly
used in power electronics and RF applications due to their efficiency and performance
benefits.
6. Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Advanced display technology that offers superior
picture quality, flexibility, and energy efficiency compared to traditional LCD displays.

555 Timer Circuit
• The 555 Timer is a commonly used IC designed to produce a variety
of output waveforms with the addition of an external RC network.
555 Timer Circuit Pin Assignment
• Pin 1. – Ground, The ground pin connects the 555 timer to the negative (0v) supply rail.
• Pin 2. – Trigger, The negative input to comparator No 1. A negative pulse on this pin “sets” the internal Flip-flop when the
voltage drops below 1/3Vcc causing the output to switch from a “LOW” to a “HIGH” state.
• Pin 3. – Output, The output pin can drive any TTL circuit and is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 200mA of current at
an output voltage equal to approximately Vcc – 1.5V so small speakers, LEDs or motors can be connected directly to the
output.
• Pin 4. – Reset, This pin is used to “reset” the internal Flip-flop controlling the state of the output, pin 3. This is an active-
low input and is generally connected to a logic “1” level when not used to prevent any unwanted resetting of the output.
• Pin 5. – Control Voltage, This pin controls the timing of the 555 by overriding the 2/3Vcc level of the voltage divider
network. By applying a voltage to this pin the width of the output signal can be varied independently of the RC timing
network. When not used it is connected to ground via a 10nF capacitor to eliminate any noise.
• Pin 6. – Threshold, The positive input to comparator No 2. This pin is used to reset the Flip-flop when the voltage applied
to it exceeds 2/3Vcc causing the output to switch from “HIGH” to “LOW” state. This pin connects directly to the RC timing
circuit.
• Pin 7. – Discharge, The discharge pin is connected directly to the Collector of an internal NPN transistor which is used to
“discharge” the timing capacitor to ground when the output at pin 3 switches “LOW”.
• Pin 8. – Supply +Vcc, This is the power supply pin and for general purpose TTL 555 timers is between 4.5V and 15V.
