Monostable Multivibrator Calculator

Calculate pulse width for monostable (one-shot) timer circuits.

Circuit Parameters

555: R should be 1k to 10M Ohms

Pulse Output

110.00 ms
Pulse Width
3.50 V
Output High
9.09 Hz
Max Trigger Rate

Timing Details

Trigger Threshold1.67 V
Recovery Time (approx)11.000 ms
Timing Accuracy+/-1%

Formula

T = 1.1 * R * C

The 555 timer triggers on negative edge (falling below 1/3 Vcc). Output stays high for time T regardless of trigger duration.

Applications

  • - Pulse stretching / missing pulse detection
  • - Switch debouncing
  • - Time delays and timeouts
  • - Touch-activated switches
