Integrated Circuit Timer
Objective:
Components:
555 timer, Resistors 10k, Capacitors 0.01μF, 0.1 μF, diode 1N914, 2N2907A p-n-p
transistor
Experiment:
1.1 Design an astable multivibrator with an symmetrical square wave output of 1kHz
frequency. Choose each resistor to be of 10kΩ and C= 0.1 μF. Assemble the
circuit. Use the 1N914 diode.
1.2 Measure the duty cycle, the frequency and the amplitude of the waveforms at the
Threshold and Output pins. Compare the measured values with designed values.

2. Monostable multivibrator
2.1 Design a monostable multivibrator with pulse duration of 1.1 ms. Assume
C = 0.01μF. Assemble the circuit. Apply a 200Hz trigger pulse of 0.1ms pulse
width and measure the pulse width, the frequency, and the amplitude of the output
waveform.

4. PSPICE Simulations
Use the macromodel of 555D IC Timer from the analog devices library in
simulation. Connect a load resistor of 100 k between the output pin of the IC
and the ground in all the circuits. The dc power supply voltage for the IC is +5V.
2. Simulate the circuit used in Voltage controlled oscillator using PSPICE. Vary the
dc voltage, VCC1 from 5 V to 20 V and measure the output frequency. Draw a
plot between VCC1 and the frequency.
