Min voltage of a 555

[bitem2k]

Does anyone think it would be possible to get away with only supplying 3v to a 555?

thanks

Quite frankly, no.

Use a TS555.

well... 74HC logic say they operate downto 2V

Indeed, also the LM1455/LM555C/LMC555 CMOS from 1.5V
but not your average generic standard issue kicking around on the bench cheep old 555.
