Bill Sloman thinks it should be.
Not true. Encouraging people to use 555's should be a misdemeanour,
but there are (rare) situations where the the 555 could be the right
solution. I've not run into one in thirty years of design work, but I
suppose there must be a few applications where it is still the right
choice.[/QUOTE]
I tried to use one once, but the electrical environment was very harsh;
all my circuit did was eat 555s.
So, I started over and used an ordinary astable with some robust
transistors, and it got the job done. Unfortunately, the project
died due to poor mismanagement. )-;
