Pin–1: it is connected to ground of power supply.
Pin–2: it is called trigger pin. It triggers i.e. starts up time cycle of IC, when its voltage is less than ⅓ of

v
supply voltage. Hence, output of IC becomes high.
Pin–3: it is output pin. It gives complementary output condition. Thus, it can source or sink a maximum
current of 200mA into the load resistor.
Pin–4: it is reset pin. When it is +ve, the IC works normally. However when it is –ve, the IC stops its working,
whatever may be the signal at pin–2.
Pin–5: control voltage pin. It is used to change the threshold voltage of the IC. When it is not in use, it is
returned to ground through a small capacitor of 0.01F to avoid noise pickup.
Pin–6: it is threshold pin. It finalizes the time cycle of the IC, when its voltage becomes ⅔ of power supply
voltage or control voltage. Hence, output of IC becomes low.
Pin–7: it is discharge pin. It becomes active through internal transistor, when output of IC is low. It
discharges external capacitor into itself.
Pin–8: it is connected to +ve terminal of power supply, generally 3V to 18V.
