Hey Dave,Can confirm the same thing happens with a SGS THOMSON SOIC package 555!Easter Eggs in everything. It's crazy.
It works with National LM7555 (CMOS version), but only at a supply voltage of 7.555 volts.
Lol, surely you can't be serious.
Interesting.Looking at the internal schematic of the 555 doesn't explain it. If it's deliberate, then there's more to the schematic than the datasheet gives, if it's a coincidence there's some parasitic element inside the IC which is to blame.
Am I the only one that thinks April Fools??
I guess the scope leads don't connect to the breadboard at all but to some signal generator with a modulation input ?
I can assure you, the scope leads were connected directly to the 555 as explained.Dave.
and that's a normal 555 timer not some uC in DIP8 ? I don't suppose Dave did something with Agilent scope heh.
