Direct Coupled Discrete Astable Multivibrator

This flip-flop circuit  is a free running/astable multivibrator one,  with bases and collector of both emitter biased transistor are directly coupled to each other.  Switching action is supported by means of capacitor in each emitter circuit.  This configuration produce a triangle waves at emitters. Since neither transistor can remain permanently cut off, then a free running oscillation will be generated. […]

Retriggerable One Shot with 556 IC

Retriggerable one shot/monostable multivibrator circuit is a flip-flop circuit which give active output when an input is present, and hold the state for a predetermined period before turns to inactive state. The difference between retriggerable and non-retriggerable  is that retriggerable circuit gives period extension when the input is retriggered before the output changes to inactive state.  Here the circuit uses […]

Discrete 0.5-300 ms Monostable Multivibrator

Monostable multivibrator circuit produce a fixed pulse-width when the input is triggered.  The input is fed to CR1, which should be an open collector source since the TR1 would short the input to ground during the active state  appear on this circuit’s output.  The output of this circuit is tapped from the collector of TR2. This monostable multivibrator output pulse […]
