ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR USING 555


AIM:
To setup an astable multivibrator using IC555 in PROTEUS and to simulate the output.

OBJECTIVES:

 To create circuit schematic using analog IC.


 To simulate the circuit.

TOOL REQUIRED:

PROTEUS circuit simulator installed in a Personal Computer.

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
cc

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

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

output goes high. Then the cycle repeats.

PROCEDURE:

1. Open the available PROTEUS simulation software.


2. Create a new project. Name the Project. Give location to save Project.
3. Place Parts from Libraries.
4. Edit the values of Parts.
5. Place Ground. Connect the parts using Place Wire.
6. Simulate the circuit.
7.Run the simulation.
