Introduction

IC 555

IC 555 is an astable multivibrator (oscillator).

Frequency: The ON time is defined by the time taken to its capacitor to charge to 1/e level through pin7 resistor, and the OFF time is the discharging time of the capacitor through pin7.

Theory

Method 1

Method 2: with diodes

555 internal design and theory

and the internal circuit looks like below:
