THEORY:
Astable multivibrator is circuit which is not stable in either output state without any
applications of input trigger pulses. The astable multivibrator using IC 555 generates a
rectangular wave. The time during which the output is either high or low is determined by the
two resistors (R1 and R2) and a capacitor (C2) which is externally connected to the 555 timer.
Initially when the output is high capacitor C2 starts charging towards V through R1 and R2. As

soon as the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3V , the output switches to low

state. Now capacitor C2 discharges through R2. When voltage across C2 equals 1/3V , the cc
