Difference between monostable multivibrator and astable multivibrator?

Answer 1

No, cant use bistable multivibrator in place of monostable multivibrator... because monostable is meant for one stable state and one unstable state.. so there will be a constant time period for the alternate pulses of output.. but in bistable multivibrator, both are stable states.. so there is no specific time period for the output pulses.. the state will vary only on the application of mannual trigger...

Answer 2

the astable multivibrator has two quasi stable states whereas a monostable multivibrator has one stable and one quasi stable state.

Also in astable multivibrator, the output of the capacitor is used as the input at the non inverting terminal of the comparator, whereas in monostable multivibrator the state transition is caused by thge application of a negative trigger pulse on yhe inverting input of the comparator.

Answer 3

Astable multivibrator is a free running multivibrator which alternates automatically between two states and remains in each for a time depending upon the circuits constants (it generates square waves of its own, that is without any external triggering) so it does not have a stable state while a monostable is a one-shot multivibrator having one state stable and one quasi-stable( half-stable) so it depends upon extenal triggering which puts it in quasi-stable state in which it remains for a period depending on the circuit constants.

Answer 4

It does'nt remain on any stable state. It provides alternatively changing pulses low and high contineously as long as power on.

Answer 5

by applying a trigger
