TITLE: STUDY OF TIMER CIRCUIT USING IC 555 – CONFIGURATION FOR ASTABLE


MULTIVIBRATOR

OBJECTIVE: To observe the application of IC 555 as astable multivibrator.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE:

The circuit diagram for the astable multivibrator using IC 555 is shown here. The astable multivibrator
generates a square wave, the period of which is determined by the circuit external to IC 555. The astable
multivibrator does not require any external trigger to change the state of the output. Hence the name free
running oscillator. The time during which the output is either high or low is determined by the two resistors
and a capacitor which are externally connected to the 555 timer. The above figure shows the 555 timer
connected as an astable multivibrator. Initially when the output is high capacitor C 1 starts charging towards
Vcc through Ra and Rb. However as soon as the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3 V cc , comparator1
triggers the flip-flop and the output switches to low state. Now capacitor C1 discharges through Rb and the
transistor Q1. When voltage across C equals 1/3 Vcc, comparator 2’s output triggers the flip-flop and the
output goes high. Then the cycle repeats.The capacitor is periodically charged and discharged between 2/3
Vcc and 1/3 Vcc respectively. The time during which the capacitor charges from 1/3 Vcc to 2/3 Vcc is equal to
the time the output remains high and is given by Tc= 0.693 (R a+Rb)C1. where RA and RB are in ohms and C is
in Farads. Similarly the time during which the capacitor discharges from 2/3 Vcc to 1/3 Vcc is equal to the time the
output is low and is given by TD=0.693 RbC1
Thus the total time period of the output waveform is T= TC+TD
Therefore the frequency of oscillation F= 1/T
The output frequency, f is independent of the supply voltage Vcc.
