    The document describes the operation of a monostable multivibrator circuit. The circuit produces accurate time delays, where the output is normally off but is switched on for a set period determined by the values of resistor R1 and capacitor C1 when a trigger pulse is received. Specifically, the output goes high for a time T that equals 1.1 times the product of R1 and C1 when the trigger input is pulled low, then returns back to the off state once this time has elapsed. The document also briefly introduces how a 555 timer integrated circuit can be used to construct an astable multivibrator.

    Part 5b: Monostable Multivibrators


    Monostable Multivibrator

    The monostable circuit allows you to produce accurate time delays. In its normal state the
    output is turned off. But when it receives a trigger pulse the output is switched on for a set
    period depending on the values of R1 and C.
    How it works

    When the circuit is first switched on the output is low.

    The trigger input is pulled high to +V via the 10K resistor. When the button is pressed the
    trigger input is shorted to 0V and the circuit is triggered.

    The output goes up to +V for a period determined by timing component R1 and C1,
    following the formula:

    T = 1.1 x R X C (Seconds)

    Once this time is over the output goes back low to 0V again.

    555 Timer based astable circuit

    The 555 timer IC was designed in 1970 by
    Signetics. Although it is over thirty years old
    it is still used due to its simplicity and
    versatility.

    The circuit to the right shows how a 555 IC
    can be used to construct an astable
    multivivrator:
