What is Bistable Multivibrator

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at What is Bistable Multivibrator and how it can be used in different circuits. In this type of multivibrator, the circuitry can operate in any state according to a signal provided at its input while it does not happen in a monostable multivibrator. This arrangement is also defined as a flip flop because flip flop also operates at more than one condition. It also has the ability to store a single bit of information so it is mostly used in logic circuits and in computer data storage part.

This vibrator like other vibrators is used for the production of square waves with providing some delay. These circuits are constructed with numerous kinds of semiconductor components. The most used semiconductor device circuits are operational amplifiers. In today's post, we will have a look at its working, construction, applications and different parameters related to it. So let's get started with What is Bistable Multivibrator.

What is Bistable Multivibrator

  • Bistable Multivibrator has 2 operating conditions so it is called bistable, it is also known as a 2-shot multivibrator.
  • Due to working at two different modes it needs 2 input signal for shifting from one operating mode to others.
  • When first input signal is provided it shifts its operation to second state when second signal provided it come back to previous state.
  • Its another name is flip-flop multivibrator because like flip flops its changes its operation state and regain it after some interval.
  • In the given figure, its structure is shown that consists of 2 NPN transistors that is denoted as Q1 and Q2.
  • At both of these transistors collector 2 loads resistors, RL1 and RL2 are attached.
  • The output terminal of the first transistor is connected with the input of the second transistor through resistor R1 and output of the second transistor is provided at input of first transistor through the resistor R2.
  • Both of the resistance R1 and R2 are connected with a capacitor in parallel. The purpose of these two capacitors is to enhance the switching feature of circuitry so they are also known as commutating capacitors.

Bistable Multivibrator Working

  • Now we discuss the working of this vibrator, for this, we discuss the circuitry that given below figure its construction and components we already discuss so now we the working of these components.
  • When input power is provided to the input terminals of first transistor-transistor starts its operation due to a difference in its feature than the other transistor.
  • When it first transistor starts its operation it goes into saturation state. Due to this value of voltage decreases at the collector terminals.
  • As we know the collector of Q1 is connected with the base terminal of a second transistor due to this it goes into the cutt-off region.
  • Then the voltage at the collector increases to Vcc, this increment in voltage causes to further saturate the first transistor as this voltage is connected with base of Q1 through the resistance R2.
  • It is the first operating condition of bistable multivibrator in which first transistor Q1 is in working state while Q2 is off.
  • This first condition continuous to that point we do not provide the negative signal to first transistor Q1 and positive polarity to transistor Q2.
  • Now if we provide the positive polarity signal to the second transistor Q2 by the capacitor C2 connected with it.
  • This Process will change the second transistor Q2 from saturation mode to cut-off mode, and voltage will decrease at a collector of Q2.
  • As the collector of transistor Q2 is attached with the base of transistor Q1 with the decrement in the voltage at the collector of causes to decrease voltage at transistor Q1 base.
  • This cause to the second transistor obtain saturation state and it is the second operation mode of this module in which the first transistor is off and second is in an operating state.

Bistable Multivibrator Waveform

  • The output waveform generated by the has smaller wavelength or larger according to circuit requirement in rectangle shape.
  • The first end of the rectangle waveform depends on the first input signal and vary according to it and second relies on the second input signal, the resultant waveform is drawn in a given figure.
  • Switching variation among these 2 modes can create bistable circuitry but in some cases it is possible.

TTL Bistable Multivibrators

  • As we above constructed this circuitry by using 2 different transistors now we use integrated circuits for the production this vibrator.
  • The given circuitry explains the circuitry of a bistable vibrator having two NAND gates.
  • This kind of circuits arrangments is known as the Bistable Flip-Flop, in this circuitry, there is a switch that is single pole through a switch (it is such switch that takes one input and can regulate 2 different output). This switch provides logic one and zero to this circuitry.

Application of Bistable Multivibrator

  • These are some applications of the bistable multivibrator.
  • It used in different storage devices and for counting of binary numbers.
  • For frequency division in different circuits.
  • It used for the production of different clock pulses.
  • It used for different relay controller.
  • It used in the different circuit as a toggle switch.

That is complete post on bistable multivibrator I have mentioned each and everything related to this module in this tutorial.

What is Monostable Multivibrator

Hello fellows, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at What is Monostable Multivibrator. It is a simple electronic circuit, used to produce a pulse at its output also known as one shot. It generates output pulses according to corresponding circuitry requirements. Its main feature is that after the generation of the output pulse, it regains its stable state and does not produce any further output pulse till not triggers again.

This circuitry can be considered as a biased form of multivibrator (such circuitry that is used for implementation of 2-state modules like timers) that is (on) operating in the starting condition till the triggered point and then becomes unstable on its own. In today's post, we will have a look at its circuitry, construction, working and related parameters. So let's get started with What is Monostable Multivibrator.

What is Monostable Multivibrator

  • Monostable Multivibrator is used for the generation of a square waveform in electronic circuitry.
  • This wave generator belongs to a group of wave generators known as Relaxation Oscillators.
  • It has a simple circuit where 2 switching circuits are designed using transistors(acting as a switch).
  • The transistors are assembled in a way that the output of one transistor is the input of the second transistor.
  • This circuitry also consists of a capacitor and resistor network to create feed-back tank circuitry.
  • There are 2 different working conditions in any multivibrator circuit but monostable has only one 'on' state.
  • This vibration generator comes back to its original condition after a set time of resistor-capacitor circuitry.
 

Construction of Monostable Multivibrator

  • In its construction, 2 transistors are connected in such a configuration that both of these operate as input and output providers to each other.
  • The collector (c) of the first transistor is linked with the base (b) of the second through a capacitor denoted as C1 and base terminal of first transistor that denoted as Q1 is attached with a collector of second transistor by the resistance R2 and capacitor.
  • A direct current source is connected with base (b) point of first transistor by the resistance R3. The input pulse is provided to base (b) of first transistor with the capacitor denoted as C2.
  • In figure resistance, (RL1) and resistance (RL2) is the load connected with these two transistors.
  • When any transistor goes into stable state, then at input pulse is provided to vary its condition. With variation in condition, transistor stays in this condition for time interval set by the resistance-capacitor time constant then get the earlier condition.

Monostable Multivibrator Waveform

  • This wave generator produces a waveform of rectangle shape having low and higher amplitude, the first end of this wave generates with the input trigger signal and the second end generates resistor-capacitor time constant.
  • This resistance-capacitor time constant changes its value to generates large no of pulses that have a specific time interval between them by following the trigger signal provided at input. This assembly is shown in a given figure.
  • The resistor-capacitor time of this vibrator can be change by changing the capacitance of capacitor or resistance value of both.
  • The circuits also have the ability to do increment in the dimensions of a wave as the frequency of output wave remains similar to input signal the difference between them is the width of the waves.

TTL Monostable Multivibrators

  • Above we discussed that this vibration generator can be constructed from individual elements like a transistor, but it can also be manufactured by different ICs.
  • This given circuitry explains how the using only two NOR gates we can construct monostable vibrator.
  • As we are familiar with the operation of NOR gate that its input is low than output will be high and if input is high then the output will be low (0).
  • So at the start, the input is 0 then the output will be higher mean '1'.
  • The resistance Rt linked with the input is also at a high level '1' it means that the quantity of charge at the plates of capacitor is similar.
  • The voltage (V1)  is equivalent to this voltage so the output of NOR is at level 0.
  • If the positive signal is provided to the input at a time (t=0) then the output of NOR gate will be '0' due to this the capacitor will get a discharge.
  • Due to the discharging of the capacitor, the input of second NOR gate is '0'  that converts into high output '1'. This condition is called second condition of circuitry, in which output voltage is equivalent to (+Vcc).
  • This condition continuous on second NOR gate until the capacitor does not get charged again.

Applications of Monostable Multivibrator

  • These are some important applications of Monostable Multivibrator that are described here.
  • Due to time delay capability, it is mostly used in different timer circuits.
  • It also used in different storage circuits.
  • It also used to provide input to other pluse generator circuits.
  • It also has ability to reproduce damage pulses again.

Advantage of Monostable Multivibrator

  • These are some benefits of this pulse generator over other pulse generation modules.
  • It needs only one single pulse to start its operation there is no need of extra pulse for its operation.
  • Its construction is very simple and can be constructed easily.
  • Due to simple construction its price is also less.

So, this is the complete article on  Monostable Multivibrator if you have any questions about it ask in the comments. I will solve your problems. Thanks for reading.

Introduction to Darlington Transistor

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at detailed Introduction to Darlington Transistor. It was named "Darlington" as its inventor's name was Sidney Darlington, who was an electrical engineer and belonged to the United States of America. Such a circuit configuration that consists of 2 PNP or NPN transistor makes Darlington configurations. This transistor configuration is used for amplification and switching circuits. The signal amplified by the first transistor also amplified by the second transistor & due to this two-time amplifications, this arrangement provides a high gain output signal. This transistor operation is similar to normal single transistor that has a base, emitter and collector. Its current gain value is almost one thousand. In today's post, we will have a look at its working, structure, applications and other related factors. So let's get started with Introduction to Darlington Transistor.

Introduction to Darlington Transistor

  • Darlington transistor ( also known as Darlington pair) comprises of 2 bipolar junction transistors, connected in such a way that they behave like a single transistor.
  • This transistor converts low base current to high output current (collector current).
  • Its construction is such that emitter terminal (E) of the first transistor that is input connected with the second transistor base (B) terminal and collector (C) terminals of both transistors are linked together with one another by a wire.
  • In this configuration current amplified by the first transistor further amplified by the second transistor and its give high gain output.
  • There are two kinds of power dissipation occurs in this transistor first is maximum Collector-emitter (CE) and second is direct current gain. The value for maximum Collector-emitter (CE) is thirty volts, sixty volts, and eighty volts.
  • As the gain value of this transistor is one thousand so less value of IB needs to using it in different amplification and switching circuits.
  • Its most important factor is that its impedance at the input is high that cause to decrement at the output due to this we get a high-value signal.

Darlington Transistor Structure

  • The physical construction of the Darlington pair is drawn in given below figure. In this figure, we are working on NPN transistors for construction of the required circuitry.
  • You can see that collector of these 2 transistors are linked with each other and emitter terminal of transistor denoted as TR1 connected with the base (B) of the second transistor to provides the current at base.
  • This circuitry gets ß multiplication due to Ib and Ic, in this case, the value ß  is larger than one, its mathematical form is.

IC= (IC1+IC2) IC= (ß1) . (Ib)+ (ß2). (Ib2)-----(1)

  • While the value of Ib of TR1 is equivalent to the emitter current of it and the emitter of the first transistor is linked with the base of second transistor TR2.

(Ib2) = (Ie1) =(Ic1) + Ib) =(ß1).(Ib) +(Ib) = (IB).(ß1 + 1)

  • If we put the value of Ib2 in equation (1) then we have.

Ic=(ß1). (Ib)+ ß2.Ib(ß1+1) Ic= (ß1).(Ib)+ (ß2).(Ib)(ß1) + (ß2).(Ib) Ic= (ß1+(ß2.ß1)+ ß2).Ib

  • In these equations the ß1 is the gain of first transistor and ß2 is the gain of second transistor.

Sziklai Transistor Pair

  • This type of transistor configuration was first time created by George Sziklai who belongs to Hungry, its name is due to this scientist who created it. It comprises of NPN and PNP transistor that are connected in given below configuration.
  • The arrangement of NPN and PNP transistors in circuitry has a benefit that this Sziklai combination does a similar function like normal Darlington transistor, but it needs 0.6 volts extra for its starting operation.
  • The circuitry of this transistor combination is shown in the given above figure.
  • You can see that the voltage drop of this configuration across base and emitter terminals is equivalent to the voltage drop across a single transistor.
  • The operation of Sziklai is slower than the Darlington pair transistor. These transistor pair are normally used for pull-push arrangements and different sound amplifier circuits.
  • But common thing in these two transistor arrangments is that they use in NPN and PNP transistor for their construction.

Darlington Transistor Example

  • For a practical understanding of the Darlington pair transistor, we solve an example.
  • Let's suppose that we have a load that consuming the power of sixty watts is connected with fifteen volts supply and 2 NPN transistor in Darlington pair arrangements.
  • The gain value of the first transistor is thirty and another transistor gain value is ninety-five. So by using these given parameters, we calculate the value of Ib to operate the load.
  • When the output load starts to operate then collector current flows this collector current is equal to the current consumed by the load.

IL= Ic

  • As we know that P=VI. So,

Ic= P/I

=60/15= 4 amperes

  • As above we discussed that the value of ß is 30 and for second is 95, so the value of Ib can be calculated by this equation.

Ic =[ß1 +(ß2 x ß1)+ ß2] x Ib

Ib=(Ic)/[ß1 +(ß2 x ß1)+ ß2]

Ib=4/[30 +(95 x 30)+ 95]

Ib=4/2975

Ib=1.3mA

  • From this, we can conclude that if we provide 1.3 milliamperes to the first transistor, load start its operation when we disconnect current load will off.

Advantages of Darlington Transistor

  • These are some important benefits of this transistor arrangement that are described here with detailed.
  • It gains value is very high almost one thousand and sometimes greater than it, so a small value of Ib will be amplified to the larger output current.
  • Its resistance at the input is very very high that decreases the resistance value at its output.
  •  As this circuit is very easy to construct so it is easily available in numerous structure in a single casing.

Disadvantages of Darlington Transistor

  • Where it has some benefits there it also has some drawbacks that are described here.
  • Its main disadvantage is that its saturation voltage is higher than the normal transistor.
  • The value of saturation voltage is 0.65 volts for Darlington pair while in case of a transistor is 0.1 to 0.2 volts.
  • Another problem is that its switch time increases if the first transistor does not send Ib to the second current within the required time. That makes its operation slow.
  • In the presence of large frequency signal, it shows the high phase shift that is low in a single transistor, due to this it losses stability when negative feedback is provided to this circuitry.
That is the detailed article on the Darlington Transistor I have mentioned every aspect related to this transistor. If you have any issue ask in comments.Thanks for reading.

Introduction to ADC0804

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at Introduction to ADC0804. In electronic engineering different modules used to conversion of analog signal into a digital signal. These tools are recognised as analog to digital converter or ADC. Thes signal converter also used to find the value of input current and voltage. Normally the output of these converters are 2 binary numbers but other values are also possible. These analog to digital converter are available in different structure scheme but mostly they are available in integrated circuits packaging. The working ability of these signal converter depends on their bandwidth and signal to noise ration (SNR). Their bandwidth can be fined by their sample rate (sample rat is the elimination of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal). The signal to noise ratio can be measured by the resolution (resolution of the converter designates the number of discrete values it can create over the series of analog values), accuracy of signal, aliasing (It is an effect that makes different signals to become indistinguishable). In today's post, we will have a look ADC0804 analogue to digital converter, its pinout working, applications, advantage and some other related parameters.
