Experiment-12:

To study the operation of transistor Multi-Vibrator Circuits.

Apparatus:Breadboard,Oscilloscope,Regulated DC power Supply,Required components,Connecting leads.

Note: this is a long procedure and you may complete it in multiple sessions.

The Bi-stable Multi-Vibrator

Bistable Multivibrators have TWO stable states (hence the name: "Bi" meaning two) andmaintain a given output state indefinitely unless an external trigger is applied.

The bistable multivibrator can be switched over from one stable state to the other by theapplication of an external trigger pulse thus, it requires two external trigger pulses before itreturns back to its original state. As bistable multivibrators have two stable states they aremore commonly known as Latches and Flip-flops for use in sequential type circuits.

The discrete Bistable Multivibrator is a two state non-regenerative device constructed fromtwo cross-coupled transistor switches. In each of the two states, one of the transistors iscut-off while the other transistor is in saturation, this means that the bistable circuit iscapable of remaining indefinitely in either stable state.

To change the bistable over from one state to the other, the bistable circuit requires asuitable trigger pulse and to go through a full cycle, two triggering pulses, one for eachstage are required. Its more common name or term of "flip-flop" relates to the actualoperation of the device, as it "flips" into one logic state, remains there and then changes or"flops" back into its first original state. Consider the circuit below.

Bistable Multivibrator Circuit

Page 46: 2014 Analog Electronic Circuits Lab-manual

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

46 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

The Bistable Multivibrator circuit above is stable in both states, either with one transistor"OFF" and the other "ON" or with the first transistor "ON" and the second "OFF". Letssuppose that the switch is in the left position, position "A". The base of transistor TR1 will begrounded and in its cut-off region producing an output at Q. That would mean thattransistor TR2 is "ON" as its base is connected to Vcc through the series combination ofresistors R1 and R2. As transistor TR2 is "ON" there will be zero output at Q, the opposite orinverse of Q.

If the switch is now move to the right, position "B", transistor TR2 will switch "OFF" andtransistor TR1 will switch "ON" through the combination of resistors R3 and R4 resulting inan output at Q and zero output at Q the reverse of above. Then we can say that one stablestate exists when transistor TR1 is "ON" and TR2 is "OFF", switch position "A", and anotherstable state exists when transistor TR1 is "OFF" and TR2 is "ON", switch position "B".

Then unlike the monostable multivibrator whose output is dependent upon the RC timeconstant of the feedback components used, the bistable multivibrators output is dependentupon the application of two individual trigger pulses, switch position "A" or position "B". SoBistable Multivibrators can produce a very short output pulse or a much longer rectangularshaped output whose leading edge rises in time with the externally applied trigger pulseand whose trailing edge is dependent upon a second trigger pulse as shown below.

Bistable Multivibrator Waveform

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

47 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

Manually switching between the two stable states may produce a bistable multivibratorcircuit but is not very practical. One way of toggling between the two states using just onesingle trigger pulse is shown below.

Sequential Switching Bistable Multivibrator

Switching between the two states is achieved by applying a single trigger pulse which inturnwill cause the "ON" transistor to turn "OFF" and the "OFF" transistor to turn "ON" on thenegative half of the trigger pulse. The circuit will switch sequentially by applying a pulse toeach base in turn and this is achieved from a single input trigger pulse using a biased diodes

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

48 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

as a steering circuit. Equally, we could remove the diodes, capacitors and feedback resistorsand apply individual negative trigger pulses directly to the transistor bases.

Bistable Multivibrators have many applications producing a set-reset, SR flip-flop circuit foruse in counting circuits, or as a one-bit memory storage device in a computer. Otherapplications of bistable flip-flops include frequency dividers because the output pulses havea frequency that are exactly one half ( ƒ/2 ) that of the trigger input pulse frequency due tothem changing state from a single input pulse. In other words the circuit producesFrequency Division as it now divides the input frequency by a factor of two (an octave).

1. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure-7 using PROTEUS “ISIS” software.

Astable Multi-Vibrator

Regenerative switching circuits such as Astable Multivibrators are the most commonly usedtype of relaxation oscillator as they produce a constant square wave output waveform aswell as their simplicity, reliability and ease of construction. Unlike the MonostableMultivibrator or the Bistable Multivibrator we looked at in the previous tutorials thatrequire an "external" trigger pulse for their operation, the Astable Multivibrator switchescontinuously between its two unstable states without the need for any external triggering.

The Astable Multivibrator is another type of cross-coupled transistor switching circuit thathas NO stable output states as it changes from one state to the other all the time. Theastable circuit consists of two switching transistors, a cross-coupled feedback network, andtwo time delay capacitors which allows oscillation between the two states with no externaltrigger signal to produce the change in state.

Astable multivibrators are therefore also known as Free-running Multivibrator as they donot require any additional inputs or external assistance to osillate. Astables produce acontinuous square wave from its output or outputs, (two outputs no inputs) which can thenbe used to flash lights or produce a sound in a loudspeaker.

The basic transistor circuit for an Astable Multivibrator produces a square wave outputfrom a pair of grounded emitter cross-coupled transistors. Both transistors either NPN orPNP, in the multivibrator are biased for linear operation and are operated as CommonEmitter Amplifiers with 100% positive feedback. This configuration satisfies the condition foroscillation when: ( βA = 1∠ 0o ). This results in one stage conducting "fully-ON" (Saturation)while the other is switched "fully-OFF" (cut-off) giving a very high level of mutualamplification between the two transistors. Conduction is transferred from one stage to theother by the discharging action of a capacitor through a resistor as shown below.

Basic Astable Multivibrator Circuit

Assume that transistor, TR1 has just switched "OFF" and its collector voltage is risingtowards Vcc, meanwhile transistor TR2 has just turned "ON". Plate "A" of capacitor C1 is alsorising towards the +6 volts supply rail of Vcc as it is connected to the collector of TR1. Theother side of capacitor, C1, plate "B", is connected to the base terminal of transistor TR2 andis at 0.6v because transistor TR2 is conducting therefore, capacitor C1 has a potentialdifference of 5.4 volts across it, 6.0 - 0.6v, (its high value of charge).

The instant that transistor, TR1 switches "ON", plate "A" of the capacitor immediately fallsto 0.6 volts. This fall of voltage on plate "A" causes an equal and instantaneous fall involtage on plate "B" therefore plate "B" of the capacitor C1 is pulled down to -5.4v (areverse charge) and this negative voltage turns transistor TR2 hard "OFF". One unstablestate.

Capacitor C1 now begins to charge in the opposite direction via resistor R3 which is alsoconnected to the +6 volts supply rail, Vcc, thus the case of transistor TR2 is moving upwardsin a positive direction towards Vcc with a time constant equal to the C1 x R3 combination.However, it never reaches the value of Vcc because as soon as it gets to 0.6 volts positive,transistor TR2 turns fully "ON" into saturation starting the whole process over again but nowwith capacitor C2 taking the base of transistor TR1 to -5.4v while charging up via resistor R2and entering the second unstable state. This process will repeat itself over and over again aslong as the supply voltage is present.

The amplitude of the output waveform is approximately the same as the supply voltage, Vccwith the time period of each switching state determined by the time constant of the RCnetworks connected across the base terminals of the transistors. As the transistors areswitching both "ON" and "OFF", the output at either collector will be a square wave withslightly rounded corners because of the current which charges the capacitors. This could becorrected by using more components as we will discuss later.

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

52 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

If the two time constants produced by C2 x R2 and C1 x R3 in the base circuits are the same,the mark-to-space ratio ( t1/t2 ) will be equal to one-to-one making the output waveformsymmetrical in shape. By varying the capacitors, C1, C2 or the resistors, R2, R3 the mark-to-space ratio and therefore the frequency can be altered.

We saw in the RC Discharging tutorial that the time taken for the voltage across a capacitorto fall to half the supply voltage, 0.5Vcc is equal to 0.69 time constants of the capacitor andresistor combination. Then taking one side of the astable multivibrator, the length of timethat transistor TR2 is "OFF" will be equal to 0.69T or 0.69 times the time constant of C1 x R3.Likewise, the length of time that transistor TR1 is "OFF" will be equal to 0.69T or 0.69 timesthe time constant of C2 x R2 and this is defined as.

Astable Multivibrators Periodic Time

Where, R is in Ω's and C in Farads.

By altering the time constant of just one RC network the mark-to-space ratio and frequencyof the output waveform can be changed but normally by changing both RC time constantstogether at the same time, the output frequency will be altered keeping the mark-to-spaceratios the same at one-to-one.

If the value of the capacitor C1 equals the value of the capacitor, C2, C1 = C2 and also thevalue of the base resistor R2 equals the value of the base resistor, R3, R2 = R3 then the totallength of time of the Multivibrators cycle is given below for a symmetrical outputwaveform.

Frequency of Oscillation

Where, R is in Ω's, C is in Farads, T is in seconds and ƒ is in Hertz.

and this is known as the "Pulse Repetition Frequency". So Astable Multivibrators canproduce TWO very short square wave output waveforms from each transistor or a muchlonger rectangular shaped output either symmetrical or non-symmetrical depending uponthe time constant of the RC network as shown below.

Astable Multivibrator Waveforms

Example:

An Astable Multivibrators circuit is required to produce a series of pulses at a frequency of500Hz with a mark-to-space ratio of 1:5. If R2 = R3 = 100kΩ's, calculate the values of thecapacitors, C1 and C2 required.

and by rearranging the formula above for the periodic time, the values of the capacitorsrequired to give a mark-to-space ratio of 1:5 are given as:

Page 54: 2014 Analog Electronic Circuits Lab-manual

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

54 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

The values of 4.83nF and 24.1nF respectively, are calculated values, so we would need tochoose the nearest preferred values of C1 and C2 allowing for the tolerance. In fact due tothe wide range of tolerances associated with the humble capacitor the actual outputfrequency may differ by as much as ±20%, (400 to 600Hz in our example).

If we require the output waveform to be non-symmetrical for use in timing or gating circuitsetc, we can manually calculate the values of R and C for the individual components requiredas we did in the example above.

1. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure-8 using PROTEUS “ISIS” software.

Mono-stable or One-shot Multi-Vibrator

Multivibrators are Sequential regenerative circuits either synchronous or asynchronous thatare used extensively in timing applications. Multivibrators produce an output wave shape ofa symmetrical or asymmetrical square wave and are the most commonly used of all thesquare wave generators. Multivibrators belong to a family of oscillators commonly called"Relaxation Oscillators".

Generally speaking, discrete multivibrators consist of a two transistor cross coupledswitching circuit designed so that one or more of its outputs are fed back as an input to theother transistor with a resistor and capacitor ( RC ) network connected across them toproduce the feedback tank circuit.

Multivibrators have two different electrical states, an output "HIGH" state and an output"LOW" state giving them either a stable or quasi-stable state depending upon the type ofmultivibrator. One such type of a two state pulse generator configuration are calledMonostable Multivibrators.

MOSFET Monostable

Monostable Multivibrators have only ONE stable state (hence their name: "Mono"), andproduce a single output pulse when it is triggered externally. Monostable multivibratorsonly return back to their first original and stable state after a period of time determined bythe time constant of the RC coupled circuit.

Consider the MOSFET circuit on the left. The resistor R and capacitor C form an RC timingcircuit. The N-channel enhancement mode MOSFET is switched "ON" due to the voltageacross the capacitor with the drain connected LED also "ON". When the switch is closed thecapacitor discharges and the gate of the MOSFET is shorted to ground. The MOSFET and

Page 57: 2014 Analog Electronic Circuits Lab-manual

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

57 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

therefore the LED are both switched "OFF". While the switch is closed the circuit will be"OFF" and in its "unstable state".

When the switch is opened, the fully discharged capacitor starts to charge up through theresistor, R at a rate determined by the RC time constant of the resistor-capacitor network.Once the capacitors charging voltage reaches the lower threshold voltage level of theMOSFETs gate, the MOSFET switches "ON" and illuminates the LED returning the circuitback to its stable state. Then the application of the switch causes the circuit to enter itsunstable state, while the time constant of the RC network returns it back to its stable stateafter a preset timing period thereby producing a very simple "one-shot" or MonostableMultivibrator MOSFET circuit.

Monostable Multivibrators or "One-Shot Multivibrators" as they are also called, are used togenerate a single output pulse of a specified width, either "HIGH" or "LOW" when a suitableexternal trigger signal or pulse T is applied. This trigger signal initiates a timing cycle whichcauses the output of the monostable to change its state at the start of the timing cycle andwill remain in this second state.

The timing cycle of the monostable is determined by the time constant of the timingcapacitor, CT and the resistor, RT until it resets or returns itself back to its original (stable)state. The monostable multivibrator will then remain in this original stable state indefinitelyuntil another input pulse or trigger signal is received. Then, Monostable Multivibratorshave only ONE stable state and go through a full cycle in response to a single triggeringinput pulse.

Monostable Multivibrator Circuit

Page 58: 2014 Analog Electronic Circuits Lab-manual

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

58 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

The basic collector-coupled Monostable Multivibrator circuit and its associated waveformsare shown above. When power is firstly applied, the base of transistor TR2 is connected toVcc via the biasing resistor, RT thereby turning the transistor "fully-ON" and into saturationand at the same time turning TR1 "OFF" in the process. This then represents the circuits"Stable State" with zero output. The current flowing into the saturated base terminal of TR2will therefore be equal to Ib = (Vcc - 0.7)/RT.

If a negative trigger pulse is now applied at the input, the fast decaying edge of the pulsewill pass straight through capacitor, C1 to the base of transistor, TR1 via the blocking diodeturning it "ON". The collector of TR1 which was previously at Vcc drops quickly to belowzero volts effectively giving capacitor CT a reverse charge of -0.7v across its plates. Thisaction results in transistor TR2 now having a minus base voltage at point X holding thetransistor fully "OFF". This then represents the circuits second state, the "Unstable State"with an output voltage equal to Vcc.

Timing capacitor, CT begins to discharge this -0.7v through the timing resistor RT, attemptingto charge up to the supply voltage Vcc. This negative voltage at the base of transistor TR2begins to decrease gradually at a rate determined by the time constant of the RT CT

combination. As the base voltage of TR2 increases back up to Vcc, the transistor begins toconduct and doing so turns "OFF" again transistor TR1 which results in the monostablemultivibrator automatically returning back to its original stable state awaiting a secondnegative trigger pulse to restart the process once again.

Monostable Multivibrators can produce a very short pulse or a much longer rectangularshaped waveform whose leading edge rises in time with the externally applied trigger pulseand whose trailing edge is dependent upon the RC time constant of the feedbackcomponents used. This RC time constant may be varied with time to produce a series ofpulses which have a controlled fixed time delay in relation to the original trigger pulse asshown below.

Monostable Multivibrator Waveforms

Page 59: 2014 Analog Electronic Circuits Lab-manual

Prof. Dr. Tahir Izhar-UET, Lahore

59 Electrical Engineering Department, UET, Lahore

The time constant of Monostable Multivibrators can be changed by varying the values ofthe capacitor, CT the resistor, RT or both. Monostable multivibrators are generally used toincrease the width of a pulse or to produce a time delay within a circuit as the frequency ofthe output signal is always the same as that for the trigger pulse input, the only difference isthe pulse width.
