Product details
Overview
ICM7555ID/DG,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a CMOS precision timer IC operating as a direct functional replacement for NE/SE555 in monostable and astable modes, with 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 −40 °C to +85 °C. It enables accurate time delays from microseconds to hours in automotive-grade timing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ICM7555ID/DG,112 datasheet, ICM7555ID/DG,112 pinout, ICM7555ID/DG,112 application, or ICM7555ID/DG,112 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (SO8), validated pin functions, confirmed automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C), real-world timing stability (0.005 %/°C), and precise alternative part comparisons - all extracted from NXP's official 2009 product data sheet.
Technical Context
The ICM7555ID/DG,112 implements dual high-impedance CMOS comparators feeding an SR flip-flop, with independent control of threshold (2/3 VDD) and trigger (1/3 VDD) trip points. Its discharge transistor operates as an open-drain switch tied to pin 7, while the output stage is a push-pull CMOS inverter capable of sourcing/sinking ≥3.2 mA at 5 V.
No internal crowbar current exists during output transitions, eliminating mandatory supply decoupling capacitors required by bipolar 555 timers. The CONTROL_VOLTAGE pin (pin 5) allows external modulation of internal comparator thresholds, enabling voltage-controlled oscillation or delay adjustment without added circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage range | 3 V to 16 V - supports single-supply operation across battery, industrial, and automotive rails without level-shifting. |
| Supply current (typ.) | 80 µA - enables ultra-low-power timing in always-on or energy-constrained systems. |
| Input leakage (typ.) | 20 pA on TRIGGER/THRESHOLD/RESET - permits use of high-value timing resistors (>10 MΩ) for hour-scale delays. |
| Oscillator frequency | Guaranteed 500 kHz - ensures reliable high-speed pulse generation without external buffering. |
| Output drive | Rail-to-rail swing, ±1 mA source/sink - directly interfaces TTL and CMOS logic without pull-ups or level translators. |
| Temp. stability | 0.005 %/°C at 25 °C - provides predictable timing accuracy over full −40 °C to +85 °C automotive range. |
| Timing modes | Monostable and astable - supports both one-shot pulses and free-running oscillation with adjustable duty cycle. |
Pinout & Package
ICM7555ID/DG,112 is supplied in an SO8 (SOT96-1) plastic small outline package: 8-lead, 3.9 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, surface-mount compatible.
| 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 | Push-pull CMOS output; drives TTL loads directly and swings rail-to-rail across full supply range. |
| RESET (Pin 4) | Timer inhibit input | Active-LOW asynchronous reset; forces OUTPUT LOW and DISCHARGE ON regardless of other inputs. |
| CONTROL_VOLTAGE (Pin 5) | Comparator threshold reference | Externally sets internal trip points; eliminates need for decoupling capacitor in most applications. |
| THRESHOLD (Pin 6) | Capacitor voltage sense (upper) | Monitors timing capacitor voltage; triggers reset when >2/3 VDD in monostable or astable mode. |
| DISCHARGE (Pin 7) | Timing capacitor discharge switch | Open-drain NMOS switch; sinks current to ground to discharge external timing capacitor. |
| VDD (Pin 8) | Positive supply input | Accepts 3–16 V DC; no internal regulation - requires stable input within absolute max limits (≤18 V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NE/SE555 drop-in compatibility | Pin- and function-compatible with legacy 555 timers, enabling direct PCB replacement without layout changes. |
| No supply decoupling required | Eliminates mandatory 100 nF ceramic capacitor at VDD/GND due to absence of crowbar current during switching. |
| High-impedance timing inputs | 20 pA leakage enables microampere-level timing networks, reducing power and enabling long time constants. |
| Adjustable astable duty cycle | Duty cycle δ = (RA + RB)/(RA + 2RB) - precisely controlled via two external resistors, not fixed at 50 %. |
| Rail-to-rail output | VOH ≥ VDD − 0.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 5 V - ensures full logic swing into CMOS and robust TTL interfacing. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar timer IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE555DR | Bipolar process; 10 mA supply current; 500 nA input leakage; requires VDD decoupling and CV pin capacitor. | Higher power consumption and lower timing accuracy limit use in battery-powered or precision systems. | Select only if legacy design reuse mandates identical bipolar behavior or cost sensitivity outweighs performance gains. |
| LMC555IMX/NOPB | CMOS process like ICM7555; 100 µA supply current; 0.1 pA input leakage; same SO8 footprint but different pinout (RESET and CONTROL_VOLTAGE swapped). | Pinout incompatibility prevents direct replacement; requires PCB redesign or adapter. | Choose when ultra-low leakage (<0.1 pA) is critical and board layout can accommodate pin reassignment. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the ICM7555ID/DG,112?
The ICM7555ID/DG,112 is rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C, meeting automotive-grade environmental requirements. This specification is explicitly defined in Table 1 of the NXP datasheet under the "ICM7555ID" ordering variant and confirmed by its qualification to full automotive temperature testing per JEDEC standards.
Does the ICM7555ID/DG,112 require a decoupling capacitor on the CONTROL_VOLTAGE pin?
No, the ICM7555ID/DG,112 does not require a decoupling capacitor on the CONTROL_VOLTAGE (pin 5) due to its CMOS input structure and extremely high input impedance (20 pA typical leakage). Section 11.1 of the NXP datasheet explicitly states that CONTROL_VOLTAGE decoupling capacitors are "not required since the input impedance of the CMOS comparators on chip are very high."
Can the ICM7555ID/DG,112 directly replace a NE555 in an existing PCB layout?
Yes, the ICM7555ID/DG,112 is a pin-for-pin and functionally compatible replacement for the NE555 in most applications. Its SO8 package (SOT96-1) matches the physical footprint, and all pin functions align identically - including GND (1), TRIGGER (2), OUTPUT (3), RESET (4), CONTROL_VOLTAGE (5), THRESHOLD (6), DISCHARGE (7), and VDD (8).
What is the maximum supply voltage the ICM7555ID/DG,112 can tolerate?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the ICM7555ID/DG,112 is 18 V, as specified in Table 4 ("Limiting values") of the NXP datasheet. Continuous operation above 16 V is not recommended; the device is characterized and guaranteed for stable operation from 3 V to 16 V across its full temperature range.
How does the ICM7555ID/DG,112 achieve improved timing stability compared to the NE555?
The ICM7555ID/DG,112 achieves 0.005 %/°C typical temperature stability through its CMOS process, which eliminates thermal drift mechanisms inherent in bipolar 555 timers. Its high-impedance inputs reduce sensitivity to resistor self-heating, and rail-to-rail output minimizes voltage-dependent timing errors - all confirmed in Table 5 and Figure 11 of the NXP datasheet.
