Design and Implementation of the Astable Multivibrator
Authorized by Edward Ong Yong Seng
This progress report covers the design and
implementation of the Astable Multi-vibrator. An Astable Multi-vibrator
consists of two amplifying stages connected in a positive feedback loop by two
capacitive-resistive coupling networks. The amplifying elements may be junction
or field-effect transistors, vacuum tubes, operational amplifiers, or other
types of amplifier.
transistors, vacuum tubes, operational amplifiers, or
other types of amplifier. The circuit is usually designed in a symmetric form
as a cross-coupled pair. Two output terminals can be defined at the active
devices, which will have complementary states; one will have high voltage while
the other has low voltage, (except during the brief transitions from one state
to the other).
Circuitry testing and troubleshooting were carried out
in the Astable Multi-vibrator in both designs. The latter wasn’t implemented
due to the big difference between the mark/space ratio of 1:100.
