1 NE555 timer and 1 LED circuit question
Lucky-Luka:
Hi all
I've done a simple flashing LED circuit using a NE555 IC.
I've simulated it in LTspiceIV.
And no, I haven't got an oscilloscope.
It looks like that the LED takes two moments to flash to its full brightness.
This is the video I've done regarding my circuit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vjMvDEyco4&feature=youtu.be
I expected a crisp ON and OFF behaviour but it looks like it's not the case. Can anybody help me to understand what's going on?
Cheers

I always put a 0.1 uF cap between pin 5 and gnd.
Audioguru:
When an old fashioned 555 switches its output then it draws 400mA for a moment (shoot through) that sags your battery for a moment.
Any other kind of power oscillator dont doo dat.
Lucky-Luka:
That's interesting.
Thanks
Cheers
