    BISTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR USING TRANSISITOR


    AIM:

    To observe the stable state voltages of Bitable Multivibrator.

    APPARATUS:

    THEORY:

    Multivibrator
    Multi means many ; vibrator means oscillator. A circuit which can oscillate at a number of
    frequencies is called a Multivibrator. Each multivibrator has two states.

    Bistable Multivibrator
    A bistable multivibrator has two stable states. Each multivibrator is having two coupling
    elements. In bistable multivibrator circuit both the coupling elements are resistors (i.e. dc
    couplings). It requires a triggering signal to change from one stable state to another, and another
    triggering signal for the reverse transition. A bistable multivibrator is also called as a multi, Eccles-
    Jordan circuit, trigger circuit, scale –of-two toggle circuit, flip-flop, and binary.

    CIRCUIT OPERATION:
    The circuit diagram of a fixed bias bistable multivibrator using transistors is as shown in
    fig. 1. The output of each amplifier is direct coupled to the input of the other amplifier. In one of
    the stable states transistor Q1 and Q2 is off and in the other stable state. Q1 is off and Q2 is on
    even though the circuit is symmetrical; it is not possible for the circuit to remain in a stable state
    with both the transistors conducting simultaneously and caring equal currents. The reason is that
    if we assume that both the transistors are biased equally and are carrying equal currents i1 and i2
    suppose there is a minute fluctuation in the current i1-let us say it increases by a small amount .
    Then the voltage at the collector of Q1 decreases. This will result in a decrease in voltage at the
    base of Q2.

    So Q2 conducts less and i2 decreases and hence the potential at the collector of q2
    increases. This results in an increase in the base potential of Q1. So Q1 conducts still more and i1
    is further increased and the potential at the collector of Q1 is further decreased, and so on. So the
    current i1 keeps on increasing and the current i2 keeps on decreasing till Q1 goes in to saturation
    and Q2 goes in to cut-off. This action takes place because of the regenerative feedback
    incorporated into the circuit and will occur only if the loop gain is greater than one.

    Applications of Bistable Multivibrator


    1) It is used as a basic memory element
    2) It is used to perform many digital operations such as counting, storing of binary data.
    3) It is also used in the generation & processing of pulse type waveform.

    CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

    PROCEDURE:
    1. Connect the circuit as shown in circuit diagram.
    2. Verify the stable state by measuring the voltages at two collectors by using multimeter.
    3. Note down the corresponding base voltages of the same state (say state-1).
    4. To change the state, apply negative voltage (say-2v) to the base of on Transistor or positive
    voltage to the base of transistor (through proper current limiting resistance).
    5. Verify the state by measuring voltages at collector and also note down voltages at each base.

    Observations

    PRECAUTIONS:
    1. Connections should be made carefully.
    2. Note down the parameters carefully.
    3. The supply voltage levels should not exceed the maximum rating of the transistor.
