Multivibrator

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term multivibrator denotes an electronic circuit that only knows two states as an output signal. The multivibrator is one of the binary trigger circuits or trigger stages . A distinction is made between the flip-flops

  1. bistable multivibrator (without timing element): two stable states for an unlimited period of time, each switching as a result of an external impulse
  2. monostable multivibrator (with 1 timing element): a metastable state as a result of an external impulse, even switching to a stable state
  3. Astable flip-flop (with 2 timing elements): two metastable states, each switching itself without external impulse

In the literature, the term multivibrator is sometimes used synonymously with the above terms in connection with the same prefixed adjectives.

Sometimes the multivibrator is only treated as a monostable or astable circuit, sometimes it is viewed exclusively as a free-swinging astable multivibrator. Then different terms are sometimes used for the bistable and the monostable circuit, such as flip-flop , monoflop , univibrator .
