Integrated Circuit Timer
Objective:
Components:
555 timer, Resistors 10k, Capacitors 0.01μF, 0.1 μF, diode 1N914, 2N2907A p-n-p transistor
Experiment:
1. Monostable multivibrator
1.1 Design a monostable multivibrator with pulse duration of 1.1 ms. Assume
C = 0.01μF. Assemble the circuit. Apply a 200Hz trigger pulse of 0.1ms pulse width
and measure the pulse width, the frequency, and the amplitude of the output
waveform.
1.2 Repeat step 1.1 for 1 kHz trigger input and compare the measured values with the
designed values
2.1 Design a astable multivibrator with an symmetrical square wave output of 1kHz
frequency. Choose each resistor to be of 10kΩ and C= 0.1 μF. Assemble the circuit.
Use the 1N914 diode.

2.2 Measure the duty cycle, the frequency and the amplitude of the waveforms at the
Threshold and Output pins. Compare the measured values with designed values.
3.2 Measure the frequency, TH, TL and the amplitude of the waveforms across capacitor
C, and output. Compare the measured values with the design values.
4. PSPICE Simulations
Use the macromodel of 555D IC Timer from the analog devices library in simulation.
Connect a load resistor of 100 k between the output pin of the IC and the ground in
all the circuits. The dc power supply voltage for the IC is +5V.
2. Simulate the circuit used in Voltage controlled oscillator using PSPICE. Vary the dc
voltage, VCC1 from 5 V to 20 V and measure the output frequency. Draw a plot
between VCC1 and the frequency.
