555 timer discharge pin is connected to the open collector of a NPN transistor, the emitter of which goes to ground, so that when the transistor is turned "on", pin 7 is effectively shorted to ground. Usually, the timing capacitor is connected between pin 7 and ground and is discharged when the transistor turns "on". The conduction state of this transistor is identical in timing to that of the output stage. It is "on" (low resistance to ground) when the output is low and "off" (high resistance to ground) when the output is high. |
