Product details
Overview
ICM7555CD,623 from NXP Semiconductors is a CMOS precision timer IC designed as a direct functional replacement for 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 frequency across 3 V to 16 V supply - enabling high-accuracy timing in battery-powered sensor interfaces and industrial control sequencers.
For engineers reviewing the ICM7555CD,623 datasheet, ICM7555CD,623 pinout, ICM7555CD,623 application, or ICM7555CD,623 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SO8/SOT96-1), confirmed pin functions per NXP Rev. 02 datasheet, validated timing parameter behavior (e.g., ∆f/∆T = 50 ppm/°C at 5 V), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The ICM7555CD,623 implements dual high-impedance CMOS comparators feeding an SR flip-flop, with independent discharge transistor control - eliminating crowbar current during output transitions. Its CONTROL_VOLTAGE pin directly modulates internal comparator thresholds without external decoupling, unlike bipolar 555 variants.
Timing accuracy derives from low-input-bias-current comparators (20 pA typ) and supply-independent threshold ratios (1/3 VDD and 2/3 VDD), enabling stable microsecond-to-hour delays using high-value RC networks. Astable operation uses RA, RB, and C to set frequency and duty cycle via f = 1.38/(RA + 2RB)C, with frequency stability of ±1.0% over voltage and temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 16 V - supports single-supply operation from Li-ion (3.7 V) to industrial rails (12–15 V) without level-shifting. |
| Supply Current | 80 µA typical - enables multi-year battery life in low-duty-cycle timing applications (e.g., periodic sensor wake-up). |
| Input Bias Current | 20 pA typical on TRIGGER/THRESHOLD/RESET - permits use of >10 MΩ timing resistors for hour-scale delays without leakage error. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 500 kHz guaranteed - sufficient for PWM generation up to 100 kHz with margin, supporting motor control and LED dimming. |
| Output Drive | Rail-to-rail swing, ±1 mA source/sink - directly interfaces TTL and CMOS logic without buffer stages. |
| Temp Stability | 0.005 %/°C at 25 °C - ensures <0.1% timing drift over 0–70 °C ambient range for precision instrumentation. |
| Timing Modes | Monostable and astable - supports both one-shot pulse generation and free-running oscillation from same footprint. |
Pinout & Package
ICM7555CD,623 is housed in an SO8 plastic small outline package (SOT96-1), 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, with gull-wing leads suitable for reflow soldering.
| 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; initiates timing cycle when voltage drops below 1/3 VDD. |
| OUTPUT (Pin 3) | Logic-level output driver | CMOS inverter output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥1 mA; drives TTL loads directly at VDD ≥ 4.5 V. |
| RESET (Pin 4) | Asynchronous inhibit input | Active-low override that forces OUTPUT LOW and DISCHARGE ON regardless of other inputs. |
| CONTROL_VOLTAGE (Pin 5) | Threshold reference adjust | Direct access to internal comparator reference node; enables voltage-controlled frequency or delay modulation. |
| THRESHOLD (Pin 6) | Astable upper trip point | Monitors capacitor voltage; triggers reset when exceeding 2/3 VDD in astable mode or monostable timeout. |
| DISCHARGE (Pin 7) | Capacitor discharge switch | Open-drain NMOS output tied to GND during timing intervals; controls capacitor discharge path in astable mode. |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 3–16 V DC; no external decoupling required due to absence of supply crowbarring current spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No supply decoupling needed | Eliminates 100 nF ceramic capacitor near VDD/GND pins - reduces BOM count and PCB area in space-constrained designs. |
| High-impedance timing inputs | 20 pA max input bias enables RC time constants >100 s using standard 1 MΩ resistors and 100 µF capacitors. |
| Stable operation over full voltage range | Frequency variation ≤0.1%/V ensures consistent PWM duty cycle across battery discharge from 4.2 V to 3.0 V. |
| Reset dominance logic | RESET input overrides TRIGGER and THRESHOLD states - guarantees deterministic abort capability in safety-critical sequencing. |
| Rail-to-rail output | VOH = VDD − 0.4 V and VOL = 0.2 V at 3.2 mA sink - ensures full logic swing compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V CMOS systems. |

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; 200 µA trigger current; no rail-to-rail output. | Higher power consumption limits battery use; crowbar current necessitates local 100 nF capacitor; less stable at low VDD. | Select NE555P only for legacy designs where cost is primary and supply current <100 µA is not required. |
| LMC555IMX/NOPB | CMOS process like ICM7555; 100 µA supply current; 0.01 %/°C temp stability; SOIC-8 package; identical pinout. | Near-identical electrical behavior but slightly higher supply current and tighter temp coefficient; TI-specified automotive grade. | LMC555IMX/NOPB is a functionally compatible drop-in alternative with enhanced temperature performance for automotive-grade designs. |
Compared with NE555P, ICM7555CD,623 reduces supply current by 125× and eliminates mandatory decoupling, while LMC555IMX/NOPB offers superior temperature stability (0.01 %/°C vs. 0.005 %/°C) at marginally higher quiescent draw - making ICM7555CD,623 optimal for ultra-low-power industrial timing where cost and proven NXP qualification are priorities.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the ICM7555CD,623?
The ICM7555CD,623 has an absolute maximum supply voltage (VDD) of 18 V per NXP's limiting values table. Operation above 16 V is not recommended for long-term reliability, as the guaranteed functional range is specified from 3 V to 16 V across the full 0 °C to +70 °C temperature range. Exceeding 18 V risks destructive latch-up due to the SCR structure inherent in its CMOS fabrication process.
Does the ICM7555CD,623 require a decoupling capacitor on the VDD pin?
No, the ICM7555CD,623 does not require a VDD decoupling capacitor under normal operation. Unlike bipolar NE/SE555 timers, it produces no crowbar current during output transitions - supply current spikes are limited to 2–3 mA versus 300–400 mA in legacy parts. This eliminates the need for local 100 nF ceramic decoupling, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count, as confirmed in Section 11.1 of the NXP datasheet.
Can the ICM7555CD,623 operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the ICM7555CD,623 is fully specified to operate from 3 V minimum supply voltage. At 3.3 V, it maintains rail-to-rail output swing (VOH ≈ 3.1 V, VOL ≈ 0.2 V), 20 pA input bias current, and guaranteed 500 kHz oscillator frequency. Its wide 3–16 V range makes it suitable for direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers and low-voltage sensor systems without level translation.
What is the function of Pin 5 (CONTROL_VOLTAGE) on the ICM7555CD,623?
Pin 5 (CONTROL_VOLTAGE) on the ICM7555CD,623 provides direct access to the internal voltage divider node that sets the 1/3 VDD and 2/3 VDD comparator thresholds. Applying an external voltage here allows real-time modulation of timing intervals - enabling voltage-controlled oscillation frequency in astable mode or adjustable delay in monostable mode, without requiring additional op-amps or DACs.
Is the ICM7555CD,623 pin-compatible with the NE555?
Yes, the ICM7555CD,623 is pin-compatible with the NE555 in SO8 (SOT96-1) and DIP8 packages. Pin assignments for GND, TRIGGER, OUTPUT, RESET, CONTROL_VOLTAGE, THRESHOLD, DISCHARGE, and VDD match identically. However, due to its CMOS architecture, the ICM7555CD,623 exhibits lower input currents, no crowbar current, and rail-to-rail output - enabling direct substitution with improved performance and reduced external components.
