Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and i know very little about electronics.I'm trying to solve my doubts about my project and would appreciate it if you guys could help.The thing is: I'm doing a project for my course involving a conveyor system, and these are controlled by a two CI555's in the monostable mode,and they will turn on for about 10 seconds by using a push-button switch.The problem is that the motors that control the conveyors will consume together about 600mA of current, and from what I saw the maximum output of the CI555 is 200ma.Is there a way I could amplify the output current of the 555 to meet the consumption needs of the conveyors or some other integrated circuit that is similar to the 555 in monostable mode and has a higher output current? Thanks guys.
