- 2. A MULTIVIBRATOR is an electronic circuit that generates square, rectangular, pulse waveforms, also called nonlinear oscillators or function generators • Timing and synchronization • Switching and triggering • Oscilloscope analysis • Precise timing signals • Measurement and testing • Pulse signal generation
- 4. History Communication was done through Telrgraphs,radio signal, & signal lamps Developed during world war 1 by Abrahim and Bloch Paper Published in 1919 AD
- 5. Types of Multivibrators Astable Multivibrator Monostable Multivibrator Bistable Multivibrator
- 6. Astable Multivibrator • Oscillation: Alternates between "HIGH" and "LOW" states. • "HIGH" state activates the buzzer, "LOW" state silences it. • Frequency: Adjustable using resistors and capacitors
- 8. Example: Buzzer Tone Generator • Alternates between "HIGH" and "LOW" states. • Oscillation Frequency: Adjustable by modifying resistors and capacitors • Applications: Used in alarms, electronic toys, and sound effects generators.
- 9. Monostable multivibrator • One stable state and one unstable state • Transition from stable to unstable state upon trigger • Generates a single pulse of a specific duration
- 10. Capacitive Touch Sensor • Touching the sensor generates a trigger signal. • Action: Unstable state activates an output (e.g., LED, sound) • Stable State: Circuit automatically returns to stable state.
- 11. Bistable Multivibrator • Two stable states, remains in each state until triggered. • Once triggered, remains in the new state until triggered again. • Often synchronized with a clock signal for controlled state transitions. • Provides stable output even in the absence of a triggering signal.
- 12. Garage Door Opener Circuit • Stable States: "Open" and "Closed" states for the garage door • Remote control signal transitions between states • State Retention: Circuit maintains the current state until triggered again.
- 14. Multivibrators have diverse applications in electronics Timing and Clock Generation Provide accurate and stable clock signals for digital systems. Pulse and Waveform Generation Generate square waves and pulses for signal processing and modulation. Digital Logic and Memory Elements Serve as memory elements in digital circuits for data storage. Frequency Division and Counting Used in frequency division and counting applications.
- 15. Timing Circuits Timing circuits are vital in electronic systems for generating precise timing signals and controlling the sequencing of operations Simple Example: Traffic Light System • Timing circuits control traffic lights for safe and efficient traffic flow. • They generate precise timing signals for each phase of the traffic lights. • Timing circuits allow adjustments in frequency and duration of each signal phase. • They introduce delays between signal transitions for safe intersection clearing.
- 16. Frequency Division Frequency dividers, allowing the division of an input frequency into lower-frequency outputs Simple Example: Frequency Division in a Digital Watch • Digital watches use frequency division to display accurate time. • A quartz oscillator generates a high-frequency signal. • A frequency divider circuit divides the signal to a lower frequency. • The divided signal drives the watch's timekeeping mechanism. • This technique ensures precise timekeeping and display synchronization
- 17. Pulse Generation Pulse generation in multivibrators refers to the creation of pulses with specific characteristics, such as duration, frequency, and shape. Simple Example: Blinking LED Circuit • A blinking LED circuit is an example of pulse generation using multivibrators. • The circuit uses an astable multivibrator configuration with two transistors or gates. • The multivibrator switches between two states, turning the LED on and off. • The timing components control the duration of each state, creating the blinking effect. • This circuit is commonly used for visual indicators or decorative lighting.
