A one time timer

iamashwin99:
I need to switch on a motor for 5 minutes once it receives a 5v input and stop after 5 minutes. And this should cycle again once restart it.

I want to do this without a micro controller. I think it should be possible with a 555 but im a newbie here and i dont know how to use it to get this output.

Can some one suggest me a way.

Benta:
Use a CD4538 or MC14538. A much better choice for this.
Brumby:
You could do this with a 555.  However 5 minutes is a bit of a long period and you may get some variation on that time, so it depends on how precise that 5 minutes needs to be.
iamashwin99:
I dont need it to be precise, anything from 5-8min is acceptable.
But even then how do accomplish it with a 555.
If the question isnt clear, the input and the output waveforms are as in the attachment, the input can be from a button press(which can last a few sec) and the output has to be high for 5-8 minutes.
