EZ555
A 555 Timer Designer and
Training Program
EZ555 is an easy to use tool for designing astable oscillators. This
program should be useful for educational purposes and prototype
development. The results produced by this program should never be
directly used in a design without extensive prototype testing. EZ555
will allow users to work with impractical designs. Power dissipation
problems are not detected by EZ555.
EZ555 allows users to use a "cut and try" design method. An engineer
can try a wide range of possibilities in a very short time using
EZ555. The program can also be very useful for instruction and learning.
A professor can present a wide range of possibilities to students using
overhead projected video.
EZ555 is the first of a planned series of engineering programs designed
to be very friendly on narrow technical topics. This is in contrast to
most engineering programs which are complex to operate but cover many
topics.
EZ555 allows users to change the timing resistors, timing capacitor,
frequency, and duty cycle. The user can change one or several parameters
prior to selecting the recalculate button. Generally, better results are
obtained by changing only one parameter at a time. EZ555 makes
calculations based on the parameter changed by the user. The list below
describes the procedures used by EZ555.
(1) Frequency, duty cycle, on time, and off time are recalculated
when the user changes any combination of R(1), R(2), and C.
(2) R(1) and R(2) are recalculated when the user makes a change
to duty cycle.
(3) C is recalculated when the user makes a change to frequency.
Items can be selected by clicking the mouse on the item or by using the
cursor keys and ENTER to make selections. Once a selection is made,
pressing the INS key allows characters to be inserted. Pressing the
INS key again will return the keyboard to the type-over mode. The
DEL key causes the character at the current position to be deleted while
BACKSPACE deletes the character to the left of the cursor position.
Other aspects of the full-screen editing ability of EZ555 are identical
to most editors and word processors. EZ555 ignores all characters after
the first non-numeric character in a field.
SCREEN PRINTING
EZ555 uses a dark on light video presentation on your monitor screen.
This is the opposite of the display method used by DOS. If you plan to
do screen printing, give the command below in response to the DOS
prompt prior to starting the EZ555 program.
GRAPHICS/R
This will reverse the graphics printout to agree with the EZ555 images.
EZ555 images can be printed by pressing either SHIFT/PRINTSCREEN or
PRINT SCREEN depending on the keyboard type.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of EZ555 along to your associates and
other institutions for their evaluation. Please encourage them to
register their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered
users will receive a copy of the latest version of the EZ555 system and
a bonus copy of EZAMP.
ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS
Registered users will receive a disk containing the latest version of
EZ555, a free copy of EZAMP(A simple class A amplifier design program),
a printed document, and a signed registration agreement. Payment can be
