What are the types of Electric/Electronics Timers ?

Can we use On Delay timer in place of Off Delay Timer & Vice Versa ?

thanks in advance

What are these modes of a Timer ?
a) Pulse ON delay (b) Pulse ON Flicker (c) Pulse Flicker (d) Differential ON/OFF delay (e) Signal OFF delay (f) Pulse One Shot (g) Pulse One Cycle (h) Power on Delay


what's their concept and which mode is preferable to use in what application and condition ?

thanks

A capacitor is an easy and inexpensive way to create a delay in analog circuits.

Along with a resistor you have an adjustable R x C time constant.

You can get different kinds of delays, depending on how you arrange the RC, and which component you take a volt (or current) reading from.

It takes a lot of words to describe a delay fully and unambiguously. I can suspect what is meant by 'power on delay'. I'll have a better idea if you say 'power is delivered to IC 5 seconds after power is applied to timing circuit'.
