I need to make a 555 timer monostable circuit with a very long duration. I did some searching for the largest caps I could find on hand and found one that'll be suitable. I pulled up my simulation software and made a quick mock-up. Here is the problem. In my simulator, if I choose a C value that is too high (10mF for example), it thinks that the timer should explode in a blaze of glory. My chosen capacitor value is way higher than that. In fact my capacitor is a staggering 55F (yes, farads).
Can I safely use my capacitor, or do I need to make a 55 megaohm resistor array?

Code: Select all

while(1){
echo "Hey, wait! This is a trap!";
}
