i wonder why there doesn't seem to have ever been a modern replacement for the 555 timer

@Felthry don't fix I mean
@BatElite It's horribly inefficient, has really high power consumption
and it's very unstable over time, running it for long periods the frequency will drift by quite a lot
this also means you can't use it for long-period timers, it's not useful at low frequencies
it's also got a pretty low upper frequency limit, typically around 100 kHz

@Felthry Is it showing its age?
I figured it was a "fix what isn't broke" situation
