Expt. No: 10 Date:

MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR
AIM:

a) To study the operation and observe the wave forms of Monostable Multivibrator.
b) To Design a Monostable multivibrator for the pulse width of 0.047 m sec.

APPARATUS:

(Additional components: 0.033µF, 0.01 µF, 1 kohms, 10 kohms, 100 kohms, 47K ohms)

THEORY:
.
A monostable multivibrator on the other hand compared to astable, bistable has only one
stable state, the other state being quasi stable state. Normally the multivibrator is in stable state
and when an externally triggering pulse is applied, it switches from the stable to the quasi stable
state. It remains in the quasi stable state for a short duration, but automatically reverse switches
back to its original stable state without any triggering pulse. The monostable multivibrator is also
referred as ‘one shot’ or ‘uni-vibrator’ since only one triggering signal is required to reverse the
original stable state. The duration of quasi stable state is termed as delay time (or) pulse width (or)
gate time. It is denoted as ‘t’.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram shown in Fig 2


2. Verify the stable states (Q1 and Q2)
3. Apply the square wave of 2Vp-p, 1KHz signal to the trigger circuit.
4. Observe the wave forms at base of each transistor simultaneously.
5. Observe the wave forms at collectors of each transistors simultaneously.
6. Note down the parameters carefully.
7. Note down the time period and compare it with theoretical values.
8. Plot wave forms of Vb1, Vb2,Vc1 & Vc2 with respect to time as shown in Figure (Model
waveforms).

PRECAUTIONS:
1. Connections should be made carefully.
2. Readings should be noted without parallax error.

RESULT:
Stable state and quasi stable state voltages in Monostable multivibrator are observed.
(Comment on results/values)

CONCLUSION:
The output of the monostable multivibrator while it remains in the quasi stable state is a
pulse of duration t1 whose value depends up on the circuit components. Hence monostable
multivibrator is called as a pulse generator.

VIVA_VOCE:

1. What is a multivibrator?
2. What are applications of Monostable Multivibrator?
3. Why is the time period T also called Delay time?
4. Justify, Why Monostable Multivibrator is called one-shot circuit?
5. What is a quasi state?
6. What is the formula for the pulse width of a Monostable multivibrator? To get a pulse
width of 2 mSec., get the values of R and C.
7. Design a collector coupled monostable multivibrator using 2-BC107 transistor with 5ms
quasi stable state duration VCC=10V , h-fe(min)=30 IC(sat)=5mA.

Outcomes:
After finishing this experiment students are able to design Monostable Multivibrator and able to
explain its operation.
