I am preparing to build a project with several 555 timers producing pulses of various durations between 10 and 20 microseconds. The 555 I am using is actually one of the dual 556 ICs. Here is the datasheet https://www.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/2183.pdf. Now, in the datasheet it claims to be capable of a frequency greater than 500Khz that would imply that this IC is capable of a on time of less than 2 microseconds by just deviding 1 by 500,000. However, I have also read several places on the web about a minimum pulse duration of 10ms or something like that. I was wondering if anyone has had difficulty producing very short pulse durations with the 555 timer IC.
Thanks
