Concept:

  • Astable Multivibrators are free-running oscillators that oscillate between two states continuously producing two square wave output waveforms.
  • These both states are not stable as it changes from one state to the other all the time.
  • As the Multivibrator keeps on switching, these states are known as quasi-stable or half-stable states.

 

  • Monostable multivibrator has a stable state and a quasi-stable state. This has a trigger input to one transistor. So, one transistor changes its state automatically, while the other one needs a trigger input to change its state.
  • Bistable multivibrator has both the two states stable. It requires two trigger pulses to be applied to change the states. Until the trigger input is given, this multivibrator cannot change its state.
