Astabil Multivibrator

Image
Multivibrator is a relaxation oscillator type. This circuit uses the RC network and the region contribute to the square wave output. Astabel multivibrator used in the TV receiver to control the electron beam on the picture tube. In this series of computers used to develop the pulse time. Astabil Multivibrator circuit HOW TO WORK A multibrator consists of two cross-coupled amplifier. The amplifier output is one connected to another amplifier wedding. Because each penguata reverse input signal, the combined effect of this is in the form of positive feedback. With the feedback posotif, the oscillator will always get the extra energy (regenerative) and produces a continuous output. The picture above shows the multivibrator circuit using 2 pieces of bipolar transistors with common emitter configuration. R1 and R2 provide bias voltage developed at the base of each transistor. Holding capacitor C1 to the base collector Q1 Q2. Q2 together with capacitor C2 to the base of Q1. Because of this cr...

Simple Multivibrator Flasher

The basic 2 LED astable multivibrator flasher built by Mary. She chose to use 2 different colored LEDs and the red LED is clear when unlit. It is quite bright when lit compared to the yellow LED despite the fact that it only draws 0.5 mA more. The bread boarded test circuit was powered by a new 9 volt battery and was regulated by a L78L05 (in a TO-92 package as shown in the schematic). The 5 volt regulator was used to avoid exceeding the reverse breakdown voltage of the 2N3904. This topic will be discussed a little later on. 470 ohm current dropping resistors were chosen to keep the collector current draw less than 10 mA. The LEDS were bright enough to see well in dim lighting. You may change this resistor "R" value (lower R = brighter), but do not exceed the maximum current rating for the LED or transistor (this is more applicable to higher voltage multivibrators). You may also place 2 or more LEDs in series on each half of a multivibrator, however, the current dropping...
