I'm trying to make a circuit that contains a 556 dual timer in monostable mode.
Everything is connected properly and yet I have one timer of the 556 working perfectly, but the other doesn't.
The output is remaining HIGH. I've tested the timing capacitor and it is reaching 2/3Vcc and then discharging but the output does not go low at this point.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? I haven't posted a schematic as it is just the standard monostable circuit. I'm using a 100k resistor and a 47uF capacitor in the timing network but I don't think leakage current is a factor here as the capacitor charges and discharges as it should.
