7.4.1 Layout Guidelines

Standard PCB rules apply to routing the TLC555. The 0.1μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 1μF electrolytic capacitor must be as close as possible to the TLC555. The capacitor used for the time delay must also be placed as close to the discharge pin. A ground plane on the bottom layer can be used to provide better noise immunity and signal integrity.

Figure 7-11 is the basic layout for various applications.

  • C1—based on time delay calculations
  • C2—0.01μF bypass capacitor for control voltage pin
  • C3—0.1μF bypass ceramic capacitor
  • C4—1μF electrolytic bypass capacitor
  • R1—based on time-delay calculations
