The discussion focuses on verifying the design and simulation of an astable multivibrator using NI Multisim before constructing it on an ELVIS board. Participants emphasize the importance of ensuring that simulation results align with theoretical expectations, particularly regarding voltage levels and frequency. Monitoring the waveform across the timing capacitor is suggested as a method to confirm correct operation. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for accuracy in both simulation and physical implementation to ensure successful results. Proper validation of the design is essential for confidence in the project.

I am supposed to design an astable multivibrator and run a simulation using NI Multisim and then construct it on an ELVIS board. Could you check if I am doing all of this correctly?

Hi Miss P. If the results agree with theory, then you can be confident of your connections. :smile:

The voltage levels seem as expected. What about the frequency? Does it agree with your calculations?

Monitoring the waveform across the timing capacitor will supply confirmation of its correct working, if you know what to expect.
