Bistable Multivibrator Group:

Aim : To study the working of transistorised Bistable multivibrator .

Apparatus: Given circuit, power supply ,Oscillator ,CRO.

Circuit diagram:

R1 = R4 =-------- , R2 = R3 = --------
R5 = R6 =------------- C1 = C2 = 0.0l uF

Procedure:
1.Draw the circuit diagram of the given Bistable Multivibrator configured as a divide by two
counter, using the steering diodes. Trace the circuit and write down the component values.
2 .Make necessary connections and identify which transistor is ON and which is OFF.
3. Study the toggling behavior of the circuit by applying 0 Volt input alternately at the base of
the ON transistor.
4 .Apply square wave trigger input. Study the waveforms at the input, at the base and collector
of both the transistors for three different trigger frequencies. Sketch all the waveforms on a
graph paper in all the three cases. Find the minimum trigger voltage for each input frequency.
5.Comment on the relation between input and output frequency.

Result:
