Formulas and Equations for 555 Timer IC Calculator
Frequency (f) = 1/ [ ln(2) x C x (R1 + 2R2) ]
Frequency (f) = 1.44 / C x (R1 + 2R2) …. Where… 1/ ln(2) = 1.44
TP = ln(2) x C x (R1 x R2)
TP = 0.693 x C x (R1 x R2) …. Where… ln(2) = 0.693
TN = ln(2) x C x R2)
TN = 0.693 x R2 x C …. Where… ln(2) = 0.693
Where;
- C = Value of Capacitor in Farads
- R1 and 2R2= Value of the Input Resistance
- f = Frequency in kHZ
- TP = Positive or High Time from each pulse
- TN = Negative or Low Time from each pulse
Enter values and click on calculate. Result will display the calculated quantities.

Frankly I think that’s abetulosly good stuff.
I am confused about the value for Tn , that this time required for negative cycle , i think that should be 0.676 *( R1+R2) .
Can you please share the derivation for it .
Kartik, the Tn equation is correct. According to the datasheet for the 555 Timer, astable output, the following formulas are used (this is how the calculator works). Tp = .693 * (Ra + Rb) * C and the Tn = .693 * Rb * C.
Specially to A/c distribution
Kartik in the symentic of log table in power supply and distribution the formula needs of 236vi to 252vi or average 2-3Amp on 2kw. loading in normal consumption or reciprocal in pnp IC Board.this is an average electric charging ac supply. More is available here on request.
Clear explanation for newbies like me. Thanks
