  • A tutorial on how to make a Push on Push off latching circuit using a single momentary Push button switch. An explanation on how the circuit works is also included. This Push on off latching circuit is a variant of T Flip Flop realised using a 555 timer IC.
    For circuit diagram plus more Info, visit:
    * Adding the article right now. Will update the links once it's done*
    Components Required:
    * 555 Timer IC
    * 1 tactile/push button switch
    * Resistors: 270R, 2 x 10K, 100K
    * Breadboard
    * Power Supply: (5-12)V
    * Few Breadboard connectors
    Note: For supply voltage of more than 9V, use 1K resistor for LED instead of 270R

    This circuit is PERFECT for my project. I looked at several different latching circuits made of discrete components, but if you press the button steadily, the circuit self-toggles based on the RC time constant. This circuit lets you hold the button forever without changing states. I didn't have to change any component values, worked first time. PERFECT! The 555 is 50 years old but is still very useful, and has a high current output (200 mA) compared to digital chips. TYVM for sharing this.

    I want to sincerely thank you for these tutorial videos. I find them very useful. My brother and I are working on a project for his gaming board (RP game), and I am providing the "animation" (lights, sounds, and movements) to add realism/excitement to the game... Your videos provide me with a good understanding of how electronics works (I'm a bit of an electronics novice/hobbyist), and this allows me to use variations of what you have presented. Again thanks for your presentations.

      I have a question... I intend to use this circuit in my project, but I wanted to use an IR transistor, instead of a normal push button switch, and use an IR LED to operate it. Is there anything I need to know, or can the IR transistor just replace the switch (in the correct polarity of course)? The power supply will be 12 volts DC.

    @Randy4662 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    great circuit, but i need a single switch that when pressed once, it starts a timing circuit, and when pressed again, it will stop the timing circuit and turn off the load. so 2 possible outcomes, one turns off in 15 seconds, OR, press the same switch and it stops immediately. any suggestions?

  • @flyback_driver
    @flyback_driver 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Man finally a latch circuit that looks promising. However, I turned up the capacitance up to 10uf because it would randomly not shut off during my spice testing. Could be the timing I have set but it would discharge too quickly for the 555 to do anything with the 5v. Again it could be the spice program.

  • @johnblack6134
    @johnblack6134 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been searching for a circuit like this for a long time. Thank you. Pity that you are not more explicit about the two extra transistors added to the output . I guess that one is PNP and the other NPN?
    This circuit works. It would benefit from a second 555 to debounce the button but since all my components are soldered to a 555 it would be even messier. Wiuld love to share a photo.

    • @elonics
      @elonics  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, yes, one is PNP and the other NPN. If you planned to use transistors for toggling between two LED's, there is a much simpler way to so that: th-cam.com/video/TTQnhIkw4Bk/w-d-xo.html
      Adjusting the value of capacitor will change the amount of debounce. If the value of resistor or capacitor is more, it take more time for the 555 to accept the next input (ON/OFF).
      I shall be happy to see a photo of the circuit you've built. You may upload it here: imgur.com/upload and share the link :)

    Why the values of 10K resistors and a 100K resistor chosen as such?? I've ran this circuit in simulation and have had it function just fine with 2x 5K resistors and an 8K resistor, or a 12K resistor in place of the 100K. Are the values meaningful? Are they arbitrary? Is 10K resistance required to protect the 555 timer? Please advise if possible. Thanks!

      There are low power variants of 555 that are designed to work even at ~3V (www.st.com/en/clocks-and-timers/ts555.html). Not sure if traditional 555 which requires a minimum 4.5V will work properly at 3.7V.

    Using 12v and a realy in place of the LED and resistor. Relay energizes as soon as power is applied and stays on. Push the button and it goes off but right back on again when you release the button.

      Another post suggested a 0.1 uf cap from pin 5 to ground. This solved my problem.

    Can someone please tell me what value resistor to use if I want to increase the voltage to 13.8 for automotive use? Thanks!

    Does this draw current when off? If so, how much? Is there a way to make it draw 0?

      Without any components, NE/LM555 and LMC555 will draw around 3mA and 0.25mA of current respectively. Additionally the 2*10K resistors connected to Pins 2&6 consume ( (Supply Voltage)/(10K + 10K) which typically equals to 0.2mA ) of current.
      So you can achieve the least current draw (~0.3mA) by using LMC555 and by increasing the values of 10K resistors (upto 100K)

    Can you provide the explanation for the circuit with addition of the transistors?

      I connected the output of 555 timer to the bases of two transistors (npn and pnp).
      The emitter pnp is connected to +ve and that of npn to -ve. One LED at each collector pin of npn and pnp.
      When the output of 555 timer is positive, it turns on nPn transistor and if negative, it turns on pNp transistor.
