The history of the 555 timer. What are the 555's modes of operation? About my book to help teach those young and old about 555 timers. element14’s 555 timer contest. The 555 timer celebrated the 51st ...

Adding the long-first-pulse malady in less traditional 555 astable topologies including CMOS- and bipolar-based oscillators that generate 50:50 symmetrical square waves. Figure 1 The problem—the first ...

While choosing an op-amp buffer, some sources of negative supply were considered, because the buffer op-amp had to provide true zero voltage on its output. In reality, a typical rail-to-rail output op ...

In electronics, a monostable circuit, also known as a one-shot circuit, is a type of multivibrator circuit that has two stable states and one unstable or quasi-stable state. It is used to generate a ...

When upgrading from an old PC to a new PC, it’s essential to bring all the applications and files. If you aren’t upgrading the OS and setting up a new Windows computer, then this post will offer a ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis and design of transformerless pulse generators which utilize clamped transistors as active nonlinear elements and passive RCL components as linear timing ...

This simple multivibrator circuit is remarkable for its high efficiency and ability to drive relatively heavy loads. The circuit supplies a symmetrical rec- tangular signal that floats with respect to ...

Pondering how the three-way multivibrator worked in the way home, I decided that the base waveforms must be overlapping triangle waves – which would give a good reason for the nice 120° output ...
