1. It is used for the performance of many digital operations such as counting and storing binary information. 2. It is also used in the generation and processing of pulse-type waveforms.
An astable multivibrator [also known as an oscillator] is a circuit built so that it does not come to rest in one single state but switches between them continuously.

Why do you use npn transistors in an astable multivibrator?

You can create an astable multivibrator with PNP, NPN, FETs, or even with NOR gates, NAND gates, or NOT gates. In fact the escapement movement in a mechanical watch is a species of astable multivibrator.


How many state in astable multivibrator has?

no stablestate


How DC is converted to square pulse?

The easiest way to convert the DC Voltage to pulse is simple astable multivibrator. This can be achieved either directly by astable multivibrator ic's or using normal transistor and resistor combination circuits or by using 555 as astable multivibrator.


Can you use astable multivibrator as a inverter?

An astable multivibrator cannot be directly used as an inverter, as its primary function is to generate a continuous square wave output rather than to invert a signal. An inverter, or NOT gate, takes a single input and produces a single output that is the logical opposite of the input. However, if you configure an astable multivibrator to oscillate at a frequency where the output toggles between high and low states, it can mimic a simple inversion under specific conditions, but this is not its intended use. For true signal inversion, dedicated inverter circuits are recommended.


Difference between monostable multivibrator and astable multivibrator?

No, cant use bistable multivibrator in place of monostable multivibrator... because monostable is meant for one stable state and one unstable state.. so there will be a constant time period for the alternate pulses of output.. but in bistable multivibrator, both are stable states.. so there is no specific time period for the output pulses.. the state will vary only on the application of mannual trigger...

Why no triggering is used for astable multivibrator?

No triggering is used on an astable multivibrator because it can cause it to become unstable.

Why astable multivibrator called free running oscillator?

An astable multivibrator does not require an input clock, therefore can be described as "free-running" in that its running without a reference.


What is the other name of astable multivibrator?

The other name for an astable multivibrator is a free-running oscillator. It is a type of electronic circuit that generates a continuous square wave without the need for external input signals.


Astable multivibrator can be used as?

An astable multivibrator such as simple 555 timer circuit can be used as a clock source, turning LEDs on/off at timed intervals, or at frequencies between 20hz-20khz to generate sound audible to humans

Can an astable multivibrator replace household wiring if the circuit is modified?

No. Household wiring requires household wiring.
