This multivibrator utilizes a CA3420 BiMOS operational amplifier to enhance frequency stability. The output frequency remains largely unaffected by supply voltage variations. Due to the inherent buffering action of pin 6, the frequency shift is approximately 0.2% when the load resistance (RL) varies from zero ohms to infinity.

The multivibrator circuit employing the CA3420 BiMOS op-amp is designed to generate stable oscillatory signals with minimal sensitivity to power supply fluctuations. The CA3420, known for its high input impedance and low output impedance, effectively buffers the output, which contributes to the circuit's performance consistency. The buffering action at pin 6 plays a critical role in maintaining the output frequency, ensuring that it remains stable across a range of supply voltages.

The multivibrator's frequency stability is particularly advantageous in applications where precise timing is essential, such as in clock generation for digital circuits or in frequency modulation systems. The minimal frequency shift of approximately 0.2% across a wide load resistance range (from 0 ohms to infinity) indicates that the circuit is robust against variations in connected loads, making it suitable for diverse electronic applications.

In practical implementations, it is important to consider the power supply design, as fluctuations in supply voltage can impact the performance of other components in the system. The CA3420's characteristics allow it to maintain a stable output frequency, which is critical in high-precision environments. The design may also include additional filtering components to further enhance stability and reduce noise in the output signal.

Overall, this multivibrator circuit exemplifies a reliable solution for generating consistent oscillatory signals, leveraging the advantages of the CA3420 BiMOS op-amp to achieve high frequency stability and low sensitivity to load variations.This multivibrator uses a CA3420 BiMOS op amp to provide improved frequency stability. The output frequency remains essentially independent of supply voltage. Because of the inherent buffering action of pin 6, frequency shift is approximately 0.2% when RL varies between zero ohm to infinity. 🔗 External reference
