This circuit emulates the functionality of the classic 555-Timer IC. It was designed using open-source tools and was taped-out in the Skywater 130nm CMOS process through TinyTapeout on April 19th 2024 ...

A low pulse on this pin (below 1/3 of VCC) sets the internal flip-flop and makes the output go HIGH. When the voltage on this pin reaches 2/3 of VCC, it resets the flip-flop, and the output goes LOW.

The humble 555 timer has its origins back in the early 1970s as the NE555, a bipolar integrated circuit. Over the years it has spawned a range of derivatives, including dual versions, and ones using ...

One of the categories we chose for the One Hertz Challenge is “Could Have Used a 555.” What about when you couldn’t have, but did anyway? The 555 is famously easy to use, but not exactly the most ...

After two and a half years we have enough data to form a clearer picture about who is using AI, what they are using it for, what they think about it, and what it means for learning. What do students ...

Students call it hypocritical. A senior at Northeastern University demanded her tuition back. But instructors say generative A.I. tools make them better at their jobs. By Kashmir Hill In February, ...

A year ago, I wrote a piece here about how people were really using gen AI. That article seemed to hit a note: It was popular, featured in viral posts, and the beautiful accompanying infographic has ...
