555 Timer Working

The 555 timer IC generally operates in 3 modes:

Astable Mode

Monostable Mode

Bi-stable modes

This means there will be no stable level of output. So the output will be swinging between high and low.

This configuration consists of one stable and one unstable state. The stable state can be chosen as either high or low by the user. If the stable output is set at high (1), the output of the timer is high (1). At the application of an interrupt, the timer output turns low (0). Since the low state is unstable it goes to high (1) automatically after the interrupt passes. 

In bistable mode, both the output states are stable. At each interrupt, the output changes from low (0) to high (1) and vice versa, and stays there. For example, if we have a high (1) output, it will go low(0) once it receives an interrupt and stays low (0) till the next interrupt changes the status.
