Product details
Overview
ICM7555CD/01,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a CMOS timer IC designed as a low-power, high-precision replacement for the NE/SE555 in monostable and astable timing applications. It delivers 80 µA typical supply current, 20 pA typical trigger/threshold/reset input currents, rail-to-rail output swing, guaranteed 500 kHz oscillator frequency, and operates across 3 V to 16 V supply voltage - enabling precision pulse generation in battery-powered sensor interfaces and industrial control timers.
For engineers reviewing the ICM7555CD/01,112 datasheet, ICM7555CD/01,112 pinout, ICM7555CD/01,112 application, or ICM7555CD/01,112 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, SO8 package mapping, validated pin roles, confirmed timing accuracy specs (±1.0% frequency stability), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for direct design-in evaluation.
Technical Context
The ICM7555CD/01,112 implements dual high-impedance CMOS comparators feeding an SR flip-flop, with independent THRESHOLD (6) and TRIGGER (2) inputs referenced to 2/3 VDD and 1/3 VDD respectively. Its CONTROL_VOLTAGE (5) pin directly modulates internal comparator thresholds without external decoupling capacitance - unlike bipolar 555 variants.
Output stage uses a push-pull CMOS inverter capable of sourcing/sinking ≥1 mA at 5 V and ≥3.2 mA at 16 V, driving TTL loads directly and delivering rail-to-rail logic levels. Discharge (7) is an open-drain NMOS switch with <0.4 V saturation at 10 mA, enabling precise capacitor discharge control in astable mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 3 V to 16 V - supports single-cell Li-ion (3.7 V), 5 V logic rails, and 12 V industrial systems without level-shifting. |
| Supply current | 80 µA typical - enables multi-year operation from coin cells in low-duty-cycle timing applications. |
| Input leakage current | 20 pA typical on TRIGGER/THRESHOLD/RESET - permits use of >10 MΩ timing resistors for hour-scale delays without drift. |
| Oscillator frequency | Up to 500 kHz - sufficient for PWM generation up to 100 kHz with adjustable duty cycle via RA/RB ratio. |
| Output drive | Rail-to-rail swing; 3.2 mA sink at 5 V - directly interfaces with 74HC/TTL inputs and drives LEDs without external buffers. |
| Temperature stability | 50 ppm/°C at 5 V - ensures <±0.1% frequency variation over −40 °C to +85 °C automotive range. |
| Timing accuracy | ±1.0% frequency stability - eliminates need for post-assembly calibration in production-grade timing circuits. |
Pinout & Package
ICM7555CD/01,112 is supplied in SO8 package (SOT96-1): plastic small outline, 8-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 index located at top-left corner when notch faces upward.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1) | Power reference ground | Return path for all internal circuitry; must connect to system ground plane with low-inductance trace. |
| TRIGGER (2) | Monostable start input | Active-LOW edge-sensitive input; initiates timing cycle when voltage drops below 1/3 VDD. |
| OUTPUT (3) | Logic-level output driver | CMOS push-pull output; sources/sinks current to drive TTL/CMOS loads directly with rail-to-rail swing. |
| RESET (4) | Asynchronous inhibit input | Active-LOW override; forces OUTPUT LOW and DISCHARGE ON regardless of other inputs. |
| CONTROL_VOLTAGE (5) | Threshold modulation node | Adjusts internal comparator trip points; enables voltage-controlled oscillation or delay tuning without decoupling cap. |
| THRESHOLD (6) | Astable upper threshold sense | Detects capacitor voltage reaching 2/3 VDD to terminate charge phase and trigger discharge in oscillator mode. |
| DISCHARGE (7) | Capacitor discharge switch | Open-drain NMOS output; sinks current to rapidly discharge timing capacitor during astable discharge phase. |
| VDD (8) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 3–16 V; no external decoupling required due to absence of crowbar current during output transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct NE/SE555 replacement | Pin-compatible and functionally identical in most circuits - allows drop-in upgrade to lower power and higher precision. |
| No supply decoupling required | Eliminates 100 nF bypass capacitor due to absence of 300–400 mA crowbar current during output switching. |
| High-impedance timing inputs | 20 pA leakage enables microampere-level timing networks - extends monostable delay range to hours with standard components. |
| Adjustable duty cycle | RA/RB resistor ratio sets δ = (RA + RB)/(RA + 2RB) - supports asymmetric waveform generation for motor control or LED dimming. |
| Rail-to-rail output | VOH ≥ 4.5 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 5 V supply - ensures full logic swing into CMOS loads and robust noise margin. |
Applications
| Precision Pulse Generation | Industrial Time-Delay Relay |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CMOS timer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC555CP | TI CMOS 555 with 100 µA supply current, 50 pA input leakage, and 2 MHz max frequency - higher speed but less stable at low VDD. | Preferred for high-frequency PWM (>100 kHz) but requires tighter layout for noise immunity due to higher gain-bandwidth product. | Select TLC555CP when >500 kHz operation is mandatory and supply voltage remains ≥4.5 V. |
| LMC555IMX/NOPB | TI LMC555 offers 50 µA supply current and 0.002 %/°C tempco - superior thermal stability but limited to 1 MHz max frequency and narrower 2–15 V VDD range. | Better suited for oven-controlled oscillators or metrology-grade timing where long-term drift dominates frequency accuracy. | Choose LMC555IMX/NOPB for applications requiring <10 ppm/°C stability and operating above 25 °C ambient. |
Compared with TLC555CP and LMC555IMX/NOPB, the ICM7555CD/01,112 delivers optimal balance of ultra-low leakage (20 pA), wide supply range (3–16 V), and guaranteed 500 kHz performance - making it the preferred choice for general-purpose industrial and automotive timing where reliability across voltage and temperature extremes is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ICM7555CD/01,112?
The ICM7555CD/01,112 is rated for operation from 0 °C to +70 °C ambient temperature, matching the commercial temperature grade specified in its SO8 packaging (SOT96-1). This range is validated per NXP's Product Data Sheet Rev. 02, with electrical characteristics guaranteed across this span - distinct from the wider −40 °C to +85 °C range of the ICM7555ID variant.
Does the ICM7555CD/01,112 require a decoupling capacitor on its VDD pin?
No, the ICM7555CD/01,112 does not require a VDD decoupling capacitor because its CMOS architecture eliminates the crowbar current present in bipolar 555 timers. NXP's datasheet explicitly states that supply decoupling is "normally not necessary" - a key advantage confirmed by measured supply current spikes of only 2–3 mA versus 300–400 mA in NE/SE555 devices.
Can the ICM7555CD/01,112 generate precise time delays longer than one second?
Yes, the ICM7555CD/01,112 supports timing intervals from microseconds to hours due to its 20 pA typical input leakage current. With high-value resistors (e.g., 10 MΩ) and standard capacitors (e.g., 100 µF), monostable delays exceeding 100 seconds are achievable while maintaining accuracy - a capability directly enabled by its CMOS input structure and documented in Section 11.5 of the NXP datasheet.
How does the RESET pin function on the ICM7555CD/01,112?
The RESET pin (Pin 4) of the ICM7555CD/01,112 is active-LOW and dominates all other inputs: when pulled LOW, it forces OUTPUT to LOW and activates the DISCHARGE switch regardless of TRIGGER or THRESHOLD states. Its trip voltage is 0.4 VDD to 0.7 VDD, and input impedance exceeds 1012 Ω - ensuring minimal loading on reset control lines in microcontroller-based systems.
Is the ICM7555CD/01,112 pin-compatible with the NE555 in SO8 packages?
Yes, the ICM7555CD/01,112 uses identical SO8 pinout (SOT96-1) and electrical signaling as the NE555, enabling direct PCB replacement. NXP's datasheet confirms it is "a direct replacement for those devices in most applications", with matching pin functions: GND (1), TRIGGER (2), OUTPUT (3), RESET (4), CONTROL_VOLTAGE (5), THRESHOLD (6), DISCHARGE (7), and VDD (8).
