BISTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR
Aim:
To design a bistable multivibrator and to plot its output waveform.
Theory:
The bistable multivibrator has two stable states. The multivibrator can exist
indefinitely in either of the twostable states. It requires an external trigger pulse to
change from one stable state to another. The circuit remains in one stable state until an
external trigger pulse is applied. The bistable multivibrator is used for the performance
of many digital operations such as counting and storing of binary information. The
multivibrator also finds an applications in generation and pulse type waveform.
Procedure:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. Set the input trigger using trigger pulse generator.
3. Note the output waveform from CRO and plot the graph.
Result:
Thus bistable multivibrator has been constructed and its output waveforms are
studied.
