Types of Multivibrators
Astable Multivibrator

Also known as a free-running multivibrator, it generates a continuous alternating output


waveform without any external triggering.

Monostable Multivibrator

Also known as a one-shot multivibrator, it generates a single output pulse of a specific duration
when triggered.

Bistable Multivibrator

Also known as a flip-flop circuit, it can maintain its state indefinitely until a trigger signal causes
a change.

2. They are very reliable.

3. They are very easy to construct at a very low cost.

4. They do not need any external triggering.

5. They can run continuously for a very large amount of time


without any problem.

Disadvantages of Astable Multivibrator


The continuous pulse generation by this multivibrator circuit depends upon the positive
feedback. So due to the resistance in the circuit, this multivibrator cannot transfer the
whole output signal to the input. So a small amplifier circuit is used with this
multivibrator circuit which restores the lost energy.
