Tool/software:
I designed a circuit using a TLC555 timer. Trigger input connect 5V(fault detect signal)
-> When a fault occurs (5V->0), a trigger is generated, and when FLT is restored (0->5V), a 2-second delay occurs through the RC time constant.
I expected that when a fault occurs and recovery is made, the output would be restored with a 2 second delay.
However, when FLT occurs and a certain amount of time passes(ex.10second) before it is restored, it is restored immediately without a 2-second delay.
After a short period of time(ex. 0.5second), when the restoration was complete, the 2-second timer started running.
Quesion: Why doesn't the delay work when the restore is done after a certain amount of time has passed since the trigger occurred?
This will result in the same result as not having a 555 timer.

Thanks for your post. We are on holiday break and will review your post on Monday when we return. Sorry our delayed response.

Yoon,
The same application is here. https://e2e.ti.com/support/clock-timing-group/clock-and-timing/f/clock-timing-forum/1443775/tlc555-q1-question-about-output-delay/5537871#5537871
Trigger is level sensitive and there is no restart (without finish). Edge trigger and restart can be added externally.
