Difference between monostable astable and bistable multivibrator
Answers
A multi vibrator is a device that has two amplifying transistors or valves, each with its output connected to the input of the other, producing an oscillating signal. It is a circuit that has two stable states. A voltage represents each stable state.
Astable multivibrator is the one where the output jumps between the two stable states continuously. E.g., clocks used to drive microprocessor circuits.
The monostable multivibrator is the one where after the trigger the output changes for some time and then returns to the base state. The period can be from nanoseconds to seconds. E.g., logic circuits.
The bistable multivibrator is where the stable states on trigger change from one state to the other and stay there until another trigger returns it to the original state.
