Lecture 8, 9 and 10 On Multivibrator

The document discusses different types of multivibrators, which are electronic circuits that generate non-sinusoidal waves. It describes the switching action of BJTs and defines multivibrators as circuits that produce square waves or other waveforms. There are three main types: astable multivibrators that generate square waves on their own, monostable multivibrators that have one stable output state, and bistable multivibrators that have two stable states and are used as flip-flops. The document provides examples of each type of multivibrator circuit and explains their characteristics, components, and output waveforms.
