NE555 Monostable Switch Debouncer

The scenario

A pushbutton switch produces noisy bouncing edges; this falling-edge triggered NE555 monostable generates a single 50 ms pulse on the first falling edge, ignoring subsequent bounces.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use NE555 as one-shot with TRIG pulled up to VCC and switch to ground for falling-edge trigger

02

Choose R=100k and C=470nF for ≈52 ms output pulse (1.1×R×C)

03

Tie RESET to VCC and add 10 nF bypass on CV for stable timing

Use for debouncing mechanical switches, generating fixed-width pulses from edge triggers, or driving loads that require a clean digital pulse.
