Hi i would like to know if there is a single IC on market that it just a simple flasher with very low external parts count , i know 555 exist but they need too much external parts to make it astable i only need about 1hz flash
the perfect package would be sot23-3
My question exactly, how precise is the 1 Hz?
What is your voltage source?
Waaaay back, National Semi produced the LM3909, which worked from a single alkaline cell. Unfortunately it is discontinued, but you may still goggle it and find some stock.
For an ultimate "single chip" solution, you may use a device from the PIC10F-series of microcontrollers. They do come in 6 pin SOT23 packages.
If you want to flash a high powered LED of incandescent lamp, just put the LED in series with a suitable resistor connect it to a transistor's base and connect it to +V.
