BISTABLE
MULTIVIBRATORS
These devices make use of a special class of circuits known as
multivibrators.
◦ Monostable
◦ Astable

A Bistable Circuit with Noninverting
Transfer Characteristics
A circuit with noninverting transfer characteristics
by applying the input signal VI (the trigger signal)
to the terminal of Rt that is connected to ground

Application of the Bistable Circuit
as a Comparator
A variety of applications
◦ Detecting the level of an input signal relative to a
preset threshold value,
◦ The design of analog-to-digital (A/D) converters
07/15/2024 6
Illustrating the use of hysteresis in the comparator
characteristics as a means of rejecting interference. Limiter circuits are used to obtain more precise output levels
for the bistable circuit

Operation of
the Astable
Multivibrator
Has no stable states,
Two quasi-stable
states remains in each
for a time interval
determined by the
time constant of the
RC network and the
thresholds of the
bistable multivibrator
