This is a very simple circuit utilising a 555 timer IC to generate square wave of frequency that can be adjusted by a potentiometer. With values given the frequency can be adjusted from a few Hz to several Khz. To get very low frequencies replace the.... -
What exactly is a multivibrator? I suppose one definition would be 'a circuit which has several states'. This will do for now, it's quite loose so leaves plenty to the imagination! Conventional multivibrators have only two stages and come in three flavours:.... -
An LC oscillator is driven by pulses which are generated by a 555 IC based oscillator. LC oscillator is built around 2SC2078. The circuit is shown in Fig. 1. The circuit and the Ansoft Designer simulation. Measured and simulated resonance frequencies are.... -
This circuit diagram shows how a 555 timer IC is configured to perform as an astable multivibrator. An astable multivibrator is a timing circuit whose `low` and `high` states are each unstable. As such, the output of an astable multivibrator toggles between.... -
Astable multivibrator or oscillator circuit is based on positive feedback. We can design such circuit using op-amp, logic gates, or transistors. Here we can... -

For a lower parts count than the 2 transistor multivibrators, 2 LEDs can be alternately flashed with a 555 integrated circuit configured as shown in Schematic 2. I chose the combination of a 2K2 and a 47K resistor to determine the oscillation frequency along.... -
The non-sinusoidal waveform generators are also called relaxation oscillators. The op-amp relaxation oscillator shown in figure is a square wave generator. In general, square waves are relatively easy to produce. Like the UJT relaxation oscillator, the.... -
The positive feedback comparator circuit increases the gain ofthe op-amp, which helps to switch very fast between the two states of a multivibrator. The positive feedback also provides hysteresis to the circuit. A capacitor `C` is connected to the inverting.... -

Powering this circuit with a 6v alkaline battery, the circuit works just fine with 100uf capacitors. But the problem is I want to replace the LED with a dpdt relay, I tried a 6v one I had laying around but it wont budge. Also when I tried the circuit with a.... -
To create a square-wave generator but I would like to modify it by getting an output that runs from 0 to +5V, as well as changing the signal so that I can change the duty cycle of the pulse(PWM)... -
A variable frequency, variably duty cycle 555 configuration in astable mode. I`m using a set of pots to get a wide range of control. It works beautifully. The output is great, but I have a problem. I am driving a couple mosfets directly from the output. But.... -
Transistorised Astable Multivibrator is a cross coupled transistor network capable of producing sharp continuous square wave. It is free running oscillator or simply a regenerative switching circuit using positive feedback. Astable Multivibrator switches.... -

An astable multivibrator is referred to an electronic configuration which is able to generate continuous alternate high and low pulses from a couple of outputs, operating in tandem. The IC 4093 basically consists of four individual NAND gates in one package,.... -
This flip-flop circuit is a free running/astable multivibrator one, with bases and collector of both emitter biased transistor are directly coupled to each other. Switching action is supported by means of capacitor in each emitter circuit. This configuration.... -
The astable multivibrator is a unique form of the relaxation oscillator in which the in-phase feedback is provided by a separate transistor. The first multivibrator was built with vacuum tubes and the circuit was very popular from the start. Millions were.... -
Assume one of the transistor, say TR1 become conducting at first. Now, since TR1 is conducting, it`s collector emiter voltage should be ideally zero, but any way, it will be around 0. 1 volt and it`s base emiter voltage is +0. 6v. Now the capacitor c1 will.... -

The 555 timer is an extremely versatile integrated circuit which can be used to build lots of different circuits. You can use the 555 effectively without understanding the function of each pin in detail.... -
The capacitor C charges via R1 and R2 and when the voltage on the capacitor reaches 2/3 of the supply, pin 6 detects this and pin 7 connects to 0v. The capacitor discharges through R2 until its voltage is 1/3 of the supply and pin 2 detects this and turns....
