Hi everyone, ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I have a slight problem understanding how part of the 555 timer works. I was using http://www.williamson-labs.com/pu-aa-555-timer_med.htm to help me and it is a very good diagram, but when the capacitor is in the process of charging up, why does current go through the trigger comparator only and not the threshold comparator as well?
I would greatly appreciate any help.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
