TLC551 IC Timer - CMOS 555 with 1V to 15V power, up to 1.8MHz

We're not so sure about it, but the 'triple nickel' (as we like to call it after we've had a gin&tonic) does come in handy for many simple analog or digital circuits. The classic part number is often referred to as the "NE555", and here we've got a modern spin on the classic.
