In this article lets us understand the basics of RTC, where it is used and for what applications, and finally take a deep dive into the types of RTCs used in electronics.
The 555 timer is one of the most versatile and widely used integrated circuits (ICs) in electronics. Since its invention in the 1970s, has stood the test of time due to its reliability, simplicity, and multifaceted applications.
The LM556 IC is the dual LM555 IC, meaning the LM556 has two timers inside it. Similar to the LM555 IC, LM556 can also be used for all those applications additionally, since this works with CMOS technology, we can have two time
