Summary
• Multivibrator circuits are used to produce
free-running clock oscillator waveforms or
to produce a timed digital level change
triggered by an external source.
• Capacitor voltage charging and discharging
rates are the most common way to produce
predictable time duration for oscillator and
timing operations.

Summary
• An astable multivibrator is a free-running
oscillator whose output oscillates between
two voltage levels at a rate determined by
an attached RC circuit.
• A monostable multivibrator is used to
produce an output pulse that starts when the
circuit receives an input trigger and lasts for
a length of time dictated by the attached RC
circuit.

Summary
• The 74121 is an IC monostable multivibrator
with two active-LOW and one active-HIGH
input trigger sources and an active-HIGH and
an active-LOW pulse output terminal.
• Retriggerable monostable multivibrators
allow multiple input triggers to be
acknowledged even if the output pulse from
the previous trigger had not expired.

Summary
• The 555 IC is a general-purpose timer that
can be used to make astable and monostable
multivibrators and perform any number of
other timing functions.
• Crystal oscillators are much more accurate
and stable than RC timing circuits. They
are used most often for microprocessor and
digital communication timing.
