Design of Function Circuits with 555 Timer Integrated Circuit

This text discusses sigma- delta- type function circuits, peak detecting function circuits, and peak sampling function circuits in a detailed manner. It further covers all the function circuits designed by using the basic principles of the six building blocks: integrator, the 555 timer integrated circuit, switch, low pass fi lter, peak detector, and sample and hold circuit. It is a useful reference text for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the fi elds of electrical engineering and electronics and communication engineering. This book is accompanied by teaching resources, including a solution manual for the instructors. Discusses function circuits such as multipliers, dividers, and multiplier cum dividers using the 555 timer. Explains how function circuits are developed with a simple integrator and the 555 timer. Extends the applications of 555 timers to perform in function circuits. Covers important topics such as monostable multivibrator, inverting amplifi er, and peak responding divider. Presents function circuit conversion such as multiplier to square root and divider to a multiplier. This comprehensive book covers the design of function circuits with the help of 555 timer integrated circuits in a single volume. It further discusses how derived function circuits are implemented with integrator, comparator, low pass fi lter, peak detector, and sample and hold circuits.
