2Pcs NE555 Duty Cycle Adjustable Pulse Frequency Square Wave Signal Generator Module
These NE555 square wave pulse generator modules can be used to produce square wave signals for experimental development or in applications such as driving stepper motors, and as adjustable pulse generators for microcontroller (MCU) applications. Only 31mm x 22mm (1.2″ x 0.9″), the board features an NE555 timer chip with jumpers and a potentiometer to fine-tune the frequency in four frequency ranges, and a second potentiometer to adjust the duty cycle (the relationship of how long the output is driven HIGH versus driven LOW). For example, a 50% duty cycle means the output is high 1/2 the time, and low 1/2 the time. The input voltage to the module (VCC) is variable from 5V to 15V DC and draws approximately 15mA at 5v (35mA at 12v) with an output amplitude of 4.2V peak-to-peak to 11.4V peak-to-peak based on the supply voltage. An indicator LED illuminates on a low-level output and flashes relative to the output frequency. At higher frequencies, the LED will appear to be on solid and witho
