It runs off a 4.5V to 16V supply and delivers up to 100 kHz oscillation. It is the surface-mount sibling of the through-hole NE555P, sharing the same core timing architecture.
Supply range and timing margin
The 4.5V to 16V supply range matches the original bipolar 555, so it drops into existing designs without re-calculating timing resistors. At 10 mA supply current typical, the power budget is modest — fine for a 24V industrial rail or a 5V logic supply. The 100 kHz maximum frequency is the astable ceiling; for precision one-shots, the timing capacitor and resistor values follow the standard 555 equation, with the same 1% tolerance sensitivity as the through-hole version.
Package and footprint
The 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm width) body is the standard narrow SOIC-8 footprint. It is a surface-mount device, so reflow soldering is the expected assembly method.
