electronics question

I'd try this out on a breadboard, but I don't currently have the necessary parts so I'll just ask instead.

What happens on a 555 timer if you simultaneously drive the trigger low and the threshold high? Is this an error state that could vary from chip to chip?

My guess is that the output would be driven low, but that the drain would remain in a high-impedence state (as I'd expect both the Q and ~Q outputs of the SR latch to be driven low.

@Matthew Skala Fun fact: I was staring at that exact data sheet and didn't see that. I've no plans to do this. I was just curious. Thanks for pointing it out though.
