minus-squaremesamunefire@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI wonder how much we really need for a clock (555 eq) to work?
minus-squarepiecat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agohttps://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/LM555 2mA minimum, and that’s just q current. It’s gonna be much higher when you’re actually using it for a clock. I’m sure the casio’s main power sink is the display. I bet the refresh rate could be reduced for better battery life.
minus-squareTangent5280@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 month agoIsnt the refresh rate just 1 Hz?
minus-squarecubism_pitta@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 month agoA lot more than that. 2ma Analog circuits are weird though https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ne555.pdf
