NE555P: common questions

Where can I find a NE555P reference design?

Each of the 21 boards on this page is a real design using the NE555P. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

What parts are used alongside the NE555P?

The 4017, 74HC138, 74HC166, 74HC244 and CH340N appear in the most repositories here.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the NE555P use?

Most are built on ESP32 (1) and PIC (1).

How big is a typical board using the NE555P?

The median is 90 × 62.4 mm, and 81% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the NE555P?

By GitHub stars, Touchtone555 by DarcyJProjects, with 31 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the NE555P before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
