This document discusses the use of the IC 555 timer chip for astable and monostable multivibrators and as a sequence generator. It begins with an introduction to multivibrators and their classifications. Then it explains the functional blocks of the IC 555 chip. Next, it describes how to configure the IC 555 as an astable multivibrator that switches between two states and as a monostable multivibrator that has one stable state. Finally, it briefly mentions using the IC 555 as a sequence generator.
