Multivibrator
A MULTIVIBRATOR is an electronic
circuit used to implement a variety of
simple two-state systems such as
oscillators, timers and flip-flops.
It is characterized by two amplifying
devices (transistors, electron tubes or
other devices)
cross-coupled by resistors and capacitors.
It has two states low “0” & high “1”

Basic types
There are three types of multivibrator
circuit

Astable Multivibrator
Bistable Multivibrator
Monostable Multivibrator
Astable multivibrator

Astable, in which the circuit is not


stable in either state—it
continuously oscillates from one
state to the other.
Due to this, it does not require an
input (Clock pulse or other).

Astable Multivibrators are a type of "free running
oscillator" that have no permanent "Meta" or
"Steady" state but are continually changing there
output from one state ("LOW") to the other state
("HIGH") and then back again to its original state.
This continual switching action from "HIGH" to
"LOW" and "LOW" to "HIGH" produces a
continuous square wave output whose timing cycle is
determined by the time constant of the Resistor-
Capacitor, (RC Network) connected to it.

Multivibrators
Astable multivibrators are used in
amateur radio equipment to receive and
transmit radio signals. Astable
multivibrators are also used in morse code
generators, timers, and systems that
require a square wave, including television
broadcasts and analog circuits.
Advantages
Astable multivibrators continuously switch
between one state and another. This allows
astable multivibrators to power themselves
and perform work at a consistent rate without
influence from any outside forces or events.
Additionally, astable multivibrators are
inexpensive to produce, are relatively simple
in design, and can remain functional for
extraordinary amounts of time.
Disadvantages
Astable multivibrators do not transfer the entire
output signal to the input. This is due to resistance
within the circuit, lack of a completely closed loop
at the output terminals, and the tendency for one
capacitor or transistor to absorb energy at a
slightly different rate than the other. Although the
amplifier restores the lost energy when it amplifies
the signal, the signal will eventually be too small
to be of any use.
Bistable Multivibrator
Bistable Multivibrators circuit, both states are
stable, and the circuit will remain in either state
indefinitely.

This type of Multivibrator circuit passes from


one state to the other "Only" when a suitable
external trigger pulse T is applied and to go
through a full "SET-RESET" cycle two
triggering pulses are required.
Countinue…
This type of circuit is also known as a "Bistable Latch",
"Toggle Latch" or simply "T-latch”, “flip-flop”.

Such a circuit is important as the fundamental building


block of a register or memory device.

Then a Bistable Latch or "Toggle Latch" is a two-state


device in which both states either positive or negative,
(logic "1" or logic "0") are stable.

Application
Bistable Multivibrators have many
applications such as frequency dividers,
counters or as a storage device in computer
memories but they are best used in circuits
such as Latches and Counters.
Monostable Multivibrator
Monostable - has only ONE stable state and is triggered
externally with it returning back to its first stable state

Monostable Multivibrators or "One-Shot" pulse generators are


used to generate a single output pulse, either "High" or "Low",
when a suitable external trigger signal or pulse T is applied.

Time constant is T = 0.8RC + Trigger in seconds

Applications
Monostable multivibrators are used in a number of
applications and can be found wherever a square wave
or timed interval is necessary for the success of a
system. For example, monostable multivibrators were
once used in analog systems to control an output
signal’s frequency, synchronize the line and frame
rate of television broadcasts, and even moderate the
tunes of different octaves with electronic organs.
Additionally, before the integrated circuit’s invention,
monostable multivibrators were connected together in
a series to divide frequencies.
Advantages
Monostable multivibrators generate output
signals at timed intervals in the form of square
waves. They are half the size of astable
multivibrators and can, therefore, be used in
more diverse situations. Monostable
multivibrators can be connected to one another
to provide additional functionality. They are
relatively simple in design and are inexpensive
when compared with other types of oscillators.
Disadvantage

One main disadvantage of Monostable


Multivibrators is that the time between
the application of the next trigger pulse
T has to be greater than the RC time
constant of the circuit.
