WHAT DOES MULTIVIBRATOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Multivibrator

A multivibrator is an electronic circuit used to implement a variety of simple two-state systems such as oscillators, timers and flip-flops. It is characterized by two amplifying devices cross-coupled by resistors or capacitors. The name "multivibrator" was initially applied to the free-running oscillator version of the circuit because its output waveform was rich in harmonics. There are three types of multivibrator circuits depending on the circuit operation: ▪ astable, in which the circuit is not stable in either state —it continually switches from one state to the other. It functions as a relaxation oscillator. ▪ monostable, in which one of the states is stable, but the other state is unstable. A trigger pulse causes the circuit to enter the unstable state. After entering the unstable state, the circuit will return to the stable state after a set time. Such a circuit is useful for creating a timing period of fixed duration in response to some external event. This circuit is also known as a one shot. ▪ bistable, in which the circuit is stable in either state. It can be flipped from one state to the other by an external trigger pulse.

Definition of multivibrator in the English dictionary

The definition of multivibrator in the dictionary is an electronic oscillator consisting of two transistors or other electronic devices, coupled so that the input of each is derived from the output of the other.
