Product details
Overview
ICM7555CD,602 from NXP Semiconductors is a CMOS precision timer IC designed as a low-power, high-accuracy replacement for the NE/SE555 in monostable and astable configurations. It delivers 80 µA typical supply current, 20 pA typical trigger/threshold/reset input currents, rail-to-rail output swing, and guaranteed 500 kHz oscillator operation across 3 V to 16 V supply - enabling microsecond-to-hour timing in industrial control, sensor interface, and power management circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ICM7555CD,602 datasheet, ICM7555CD,602 pinout, ICM7555CD,602 application, or ICM7555CD,602 equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low input bias current (enabling high-Z RC networks), absence of supply crowbarring (eliminating mandatory decoupling), CONTROL_VOLTAGE pin usability without external capacitor, and SO8 package compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
The ICM7555CD,602 implements dual high-impedance CMOS comparators feeding an SR flip-flop, with independent DISCHARGE transistor control - enabling precise threshold detection at 1/3 VDD and 2/3 VDD without supply current spikes. Its output stage uses complementary MOSFETs to achieve rail-to-rail sourcing/sinking up to 3.2 mA sink and −1.0 mA source while maintaining TTL/CMOS logic compatibility.
Unlike bipolar 555 timers, the ICM7555CD,602 avoids internal crowbar current during output transitions and eliminates need for CONTROL_VOLTAGE decoupling due to >1012 Ω input impedance. Timing stability is enhanced by temperature coefficient of 0.005 %/°C and supply voltage insensitivity (0.1–3.0 %/V frequency variation).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V - supports single-supply operation across battery, logic, and industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current | 80 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in portable timing applications. |
| Input Bias Current | 20 pA typical on TRIGGER/THRESHOLD/RESET - permits use of MΩ-range resistors and nF-range capacitors for long time constants. |
| Oscillator Frequency | Up to 500 kHz - sufficient for PWM generation, clock synthesis, and high-speed pulse shaping. |
| Output Drive | Rail-to-rail swing, ±3.2 mA sink/source - directly interfaces with TTL and CMOS loads without external buffers. |
| Temperature Stability | 0.005 %/°C at 25 °C - ensures <±0.5 % timing drift over 0–70 °C industrial range. |
| Timing Modes | Monostable and astable - supports both one-shot delay generation and free-running oscillation with adjustable duty cycle. |
Pinout & Package
ICM7555CD,602 is housed in an SO8 (SOT96-1) plastic small outline package, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, suitable for reflow soldering per J-STD-020C lead-free profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Supply reference ground | Return path for all internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane. |
| TRIGGER (Pin 2) | Monostable start input | Active-LOW edge-sensitive input initiating timing cycle; 20 pA leakage enables high-impedance pull-up networks. |
| OUTPUT (Pin 3) | Logic-level output driver | Rail-to-rail CMOS inverter output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥3.2 mA; drives TTL/CMOS directly. |
| RESET (Pin 4) | Timer inhibit control | Active-LOW asynchronous reset overriding all other inputs; high-impedance input avoids loading external logic. |
| CONTROL_VOLTAGE (Pin 5) | Threshold reference adjust | Direct access to internal comparator reference divider; enables voltage-controlled frequency or delay modulation without external capacitor. |
| THRESHOLD (Pin 6) | Capacitor upper-voltage sense | Detects when timing capacitor reaches 2/3 VDD to terminate monostable pulse or discharge phase in astable mode. |
| DISCHARGE (Pin 7) | Timing capacitor discharge path | Open-drain NMOS switch sinking up to 10 mA; used to discharge external timing capacitor during astable discharge phase. |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Positive supply input | Accepts 3–16 V DC; no external decoupling required due to absence of supply crowbarring during transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct NE/SE555 replacement | Pin-compatible and functionally identical in most circuits, with improved electrical specs and reduced BOM count. |
| No supply decoupling required | Eliminates 100 nF ceramic capacitor near VDD/GND pins due to absence of crowbar current during output switching. |
| No CONTROL_VOLTAGE decoupling | Saves second 10 nF capacitor by leveraging >1 TΩ input impedance - simplifies layout and reduces cost. |
| High-impedance timing network support | Enables RC time constants up to hours using 10 MΩ resistors and 100 µF capacitors without accuracy loss. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Ensures full logic swing across entire 3–16 V supply range - critical for interfacing with mixed-voltage systems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar timer IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE555P | Bipolar process; 10 mA supply current; requires VDD decoupling and CONTROL_VOLTAGE capacitor; 100× higher input bias current. | Lower cost but unsuitable for battery-powered or high-impedance timing networks; limited to ≤100 kHz operation. | Select NE555P only for legacy designs where pin compatibility is mandatory and power/accuracy constraints are relaxed. |
| LMC555IMX/NOPB | CMOS design like ICM7555CD,602 but with 50 µA supply current; same SO8 package; 2 pA input bias; wider temp range (−40 to +105 °C). | Better suited for extended temperature environments; slightly lower supply current but identical functional behavior. | Choose LMC555IMX/NOPB for new designs requiring −40 °C operation or marginally lower power; otherwise ICM7555CD,602 remains optimal for 0–70 °C industrial use. |
Compared with NE555P and LMC555IMX/NOPB, the ICM7555CD,602 offers best-in-class input impedance for ultra-long time constants, proven SO8 reliability in automotive-qualified production, and optimal balance of cost, performance, and manufacturability for 0–70 °C applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the ICM7555CD,602?
The ICM7555CD,602 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 18 V, with guaranteed operation from 3 V to 16 V across its specified 0 °C to +70 °C temperature range. Exceeding 18 V risks destructive latch-up due to SCR structure inherent in its CMOS fabrication process.
Does the ICM7555CD,602 require a decoupling capacitor on the CONTROL_VOLTAGE pin?
No, the ICM7555CD,602 does not require a decoupling capacitor on the CONTROL_VOLTAGE pin due to its extremely high input impedance (>1 TΩ), which prevents noise coupling and eliminates the need for external filtering - a key advantage over bipolar 555 timers.
Can the ICM7555CD,602 drive TTL logic directly?
Yes, the ICM7555CD,602 can drive at least two standard TTL loads when VDD ≥ 4.5 V, thanks to its rail-to-rail CMOS output stage capable of sourcing −1.0 mA and sinking 3.2 mA - meeting TTL input voltage and current requirements without external buffers.
What is the typical input bias current on the TRIGGER pin of the ICM7555CD,602?
The typical input bias current on the TRIGGER pin of the ICM7555CD,602 is 20 pA at 25 °C, enabling use of high-value timing resistors (up to 10 MΩ) without significant timing error - a critical feature for microamp-level power designs.
Is the ICM7555CD,602 pin-compatible with the NE555?
Yes, the ICM7555CD,602 is pin-compatible with the NE555 in SO8 packaging and functions identically in monostable and astable modes, making it a direct drop-in replacement that improves performance without PCB layout changes.
