Experiment 7 Questions

Experiment No. 7 discusses the astable multivibrator circuit. It asks questions about the circuit design including: 1) the type of feedback used and why, 2) whether an external input signal is used and how oscillation starts, 3) definitions of high and low threshold voltages. It also asks the student to draw circuit diagrams, explain the function of BJT transistors in the 555 timer IC, discuss resistor values, and draw output waveforms showing voltages over time. The student is to answer questions 1, 2, 5, 8, and 9 in their lab report.

Experiment No.

7: Astable Multivibrator
1. What type of feedback we use in the design of Astable Multivibrator? Why we use it? 2. Do we use any external input signal in this experiment? How does the oscillation start? 3. Define high threshold voltage and low threshold voltage. 4. Draw the circuit diagram of a simple Astable Multivibrator (without 555 timer IC). 5. In the 555 timer IC what is the function of the Bipolar Junction Transistor? Explain briefly. [BJT is used as an electronic switch. Read chapter 4(section 4.9) from Boylestads book.] 6. Theoretically what would be the height of the triangular voltage at pin 6 of the 555 timer IC? 7. Theoretically what would be the height of the square wave output at pin 3 of the 555 timer IC? 8. Why the three equal valued resistors are used in the 555 timer IC? 9. For an Astable Multivibrator, draw the appropriate output voltage and capacitor voltage waveforms. Clearly show the saturation output L + and L , threshold voltages V TH and V TL , time period for high and low output T H and T L over the two figures. 10. Write the formula of the time period for square wave oscillation. Write answer for question number 1, 2, 5, 8 & 9 in the lab report.
