Multivibrators

Multivibrators

ØMultivibrator is an electronic circuit having a


wide range of applications.

ØMultivibrator is an electronic circuit used to


implement two state devices like oscillator, timer
and Flip-Flop.
Multivibrators

ØHere, two states refer to the two voltage levels of the


multivibrator

+ 15 Volt + 0 Volt

ØIn terms of Digital Electronics


High (Logic 1)

Low (Logic 0)
Multivibrators
Depending upon the number of stable states,
multivibrator can be divided into three types.

ØAstable Multivibrator
ØMonostable Multivibrator
ØBistable Multivibrator
Astable Multivibrator
ØIn Astable multivibrator, output will not
remain stable in any of the two states.

ØOutput continuously changes it’s states.

Application

Astable multivibrator is widely used in the


design of relaxation oscillator.

ØMonostable multivibrator is known as one shot


multivibrator.

ØHere , there is one stable state and one astable state.

ØOutput remains in the stable state.


Monostable Multivibrator
ØWhen some trigger signal is applied , output momentarily goes into
unstable state.

ØAfter some time , output comes back to the stable state

ØThe time required to come back to the stable state depends upon
the passive components R and C.

ØBy selecting the value of R and C , we can decide the time for which
the output will remain in the unstable state.

Application

Application of monostable multivibrator is in


timer applications, in operation of relay.

Ø Here, both the states are stable states.

Ø Output can be any of the two stable states.

Ø Output from one stable state to another


stable state changes only after applying a
trigger.
