In summary, a multivibrator is an electronic circuit that produces a continuous output signal by switching between two stable states. It is used to generate square wave signals for various purposes, such as timing and frequency generation. There are three main types of multivibrators: astable, monostable, and bistable. The frequency and duration of the output signal can be controlled by adjusting the circuit components or using external triggers. Multivibrators have applications in electronic devices, digital logic circuits, and audio and video equipment.

The transistor is in the common base configuration. In this configuration, the input is at the emmiter.

so what happened to the transistor when a pulse is comming.if it turn on ?(revers bias or forword bias)

When a negative pulse arrives at the emitter, its voltage is lower than the base voltage, so the transistor is forward biased.
 

1. How does a multivibrator work?

A multivibrator is an electronic circuit that produces a continuous output signal of alternating between two stable states. These states are typically referred to as "high" and "low" or "on" and "off". The circuit consists of two amplifiers, each with a positive feedback loop, which causes the circuit to switch between the two states.

2. What is the purpose of a multivibrator?

A multivibrator is used in electronic devices to generate a square wave signal, which is a type of periodic waveform. This signal can then be used for various purposes such as timing, frequency generation, or triggering other circuits.

3. What are the different types of multivibrators?

There are three main types of multivibrators: astable, monostable, and bistable. An astable multivibrator continuously switches between the two stable states, while a monostable multivibrator only switches to one state for a predetermined period of time. A bistable multivibrator, also known as a flip-flop, remains in one of the two states until an external trigger causes it to switch.

4. How is a multivibrator controlled?

A multivibrator can be controlled by changing the values of the components in the circuit, such as resistors and capacitors. By adjusting these values, the frequency and duration of the output signal can be changed. Additionally, external triggers or signals can be used to control the switching of the multivibrator.

5. What are the applications of a multivibrator?

Multivibrators are commonly used in electronic devices such as timers, pulse generators, and frequency dividers. They are also used in digital logic circuits, where they act as memory elements or control the flow of data. In addition, multivibrators are used in audio and video equipment for signal processing and synchronization.
