2.1 MHz timer — CMOS power budget in a DIP
The TLC555IP is a 555-type timer/oscillator built on Texas Instruments' LinCMOS™ process, delivering a maximum oscillation frequency of 2.1 MHz while drawing just 360 µA typical supply current. That supply current is roughly one-tenth what a bipolar NE555 pulls at the same rail voltage — the CMOS construction cuts the power budget without changing the pinout or the classic 555 timing equations.
3 V to 15 V rail — mixed-voltage and battery applications
The supply range spans 3 V to 15 V, so the same part runs from a 3.3 V logic rail, a 5 V industrial bus, or a 12 V battery without a separate regulator.
8-DIP — breadboard, socket, or rework-friendly
The 8-pin DIP (0.300-inch row spacing) is a through-hole package that drops into standard breadboards, wire-wrap sockets, or legacy PCB layouts — no re-spin needed if the original design used a bipolar 555. Supplied in tubes, not tape-and-reel — the typical procurement unit for prototyping, repair, or low-volume production runs.
Active lifecycle — no LTB clock
For a BOM line that already carries this order code, the supply path is straightforward: quoted to order against your quantity through independent distribution, with current pricing and lead time confirmed at RFQ.
