Lett us talk about SR latch and SR flip-flops. In the above circuit,when you Set S as active the output Q would be high and Q’ will be low. This is irrespective of anything else. 

SR Latch

Flip flop v/s Latch The basic difference between a latch and a flip-flop is a gating or clocking mechanism. 

A flip flop is an electronic circuit with two stable states that can be used to store binary data. The stored data can be changed by applying varying inputs. Flip-flops and latches are fundamental building blocks of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of systems. Flip-flops and latches are used as data storage elements. It is the basic storage element in sequential logic.

After a brief overview of 555 timer, let's get an overview of flip-flops..

Sharing a DIY Flashing LED circuit using 555 timer based on the circuit explained above.. Try it out using a general purpose PCB..

13) Can we put breakpoint inside ISR? Putting a break point inside ISR is not a good idea because debugging will take some time and a difference of half or more second will lead to different behavior of hardware. To debug ISR, definitive logs are better.

Example : A Monostable 555 Timer is required to produce a time delay within a circuit. If a 10uF timing capacitor is used, calculate the value of the resistor required to produce a minimum output time delay of 500ms.

This action allows the timing capacitor to start to charge up through resistor, R1 until the voltage across the capacitor reaches the threshold (pin 6) voltage of 2/3Vcc set up by the internal voltage divider network. At this point the comparators output goes “HIGH” and “resets” the flip-flop back to its original state which in turn turns “ON” the transistor and discharges the capacitor to ground through pin 7. This causes the output to change its state back to the original stable “LOW” value awaiting another trigger pulse to start the timing process over again. Then as before, the Monostable Multivibrator has only “ONE” stable state.

When a negative ( 0V ) pulse is applied to the trigger input (pin 2) of the Monostable configured 555 Timer oscillator, the internal comparator, (comparator No1) detects this input and “sets” the state of the flip-flop, changing the output from a “LOW” state to a “HIGH” state. This action in turn turns “OFF” the discharge transistor connected to pin 7, thereby removing the short circuit across the external timing capacitor, C1.

It may seem boring sometimes to read IC working.. but take some time out n read.. it really helps u.. Whatever u get to know.. try to know it in detail.. So only I will post in parts..

In usual configuration, output of Comparator goes high when the voltage at non-inverting input (+) is higher than the voltage at inverting input (-).

The 555 Timers name comes from the fact that there are three 5kΩ resistors connected together internally producing a voltage divider network between the supply voltage at pin 8 and ground at pin 1. The voltage across this series resistive network holds the negative inverting input of comparator two at 2/3Vcc and the positive non-inverting input to comparator one at 1/3Vcc.
