Question

To make a 555 IC work as a pulse width modulator, to which pin should the variable voltage be applied?

A.

Threshold pin

B.

Trigger pin

C.

Control pin

D.

Discharge pin

Correct option is C


In a 555 timer IC, the Control pin (Pin 5) is used to directly control the voltage at which the internal comparator operates. By applying a variable voltage to the Control pin, the duty cycle of the output waveform can be modulated, making the 555 IC work as a pulse width modulator (PWM).
· The Control pin allows external adjustment of the threshold and trigger voltages, enabling fine control over the output pulse width.
