0:23 What is Astable Multivibrator

0:50 Astable Multivibrator using 555 timer

1:18 Working of the circuit

9:08 Duty Cycle of Astable Multivibrator

13:25 Design of Astable Multivibrator with 50 % Duty Cycle

15:02 Derivation of the Timing Equations

What is Astable Multivibrator:

In Astable Multivibrator, both output states are unstable state and output continuously changes between the two states.
The main application of this astable multivibrator is in the design of relaxation oscillator.

In this video, the astable multivibrator is designed using 555 timers and the working of the circuit is also explained.

In the designed astable multivibrator circuit, the duty cycle of the output signal will be always more than 50 %. To achieve a 50 percent of a duty cycle, the modification in the circuit, as well as another alternative circuit, is also suggested.

And at the end part of the video, the equations used in the design of this astable multivibrator circuit has been derived.

This video will be helpful to all the students of science and engineering in understanding the design and working of astable multivibrator using 555 timer ic.
