You can create an astable multivibrator with PNP, NPN, FETs, or even with NOR gates, NAND gates, or NOT gates. In fact the escapement movement in a mechanical watch is a species of astable multivibrator.
1. It is used for the performance of many digital operations such as counting and storing binary information. 2. It is also used in the generation and processing of pulse-type waveforms.An astable multivibrator [also known as an oscillator] is a circuit built so that it does not come to rest in one single state but switches between them continuously.
No, cant use bistable multivibrator in place of monostable multivibrator... because monostable is meant for one stable state and one unstable state.. so there will be a constant time period for the alternate pulses of output.. but in bistable multivibrator, both are stable states.. so there is no specific time period for the output pulses.. the state will vary only on the application of mannual trigger...
555 an IC which can be used for many applications and one of the application is astable multivibrator. For many applications we use IC 555 because its cost effective and have lot of features.The main difference is astable multivibrator switches from one state to another state automatically i.e when a pulse is given to astable multivibrator, it immediately switches to high state and remains for certain time and switches back to low state. In 555timer you can decide your own application.
The modern CPU (typically inside a microprocessor IC) is built of billions of transistors (typically complementary MOSFETs). The CPUs of the late 1960s were built of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of transistors inside several hundred MSI ICs (typical silicon NPN BJTs). The CPUs of the late 1950s to early 1960s were built of thousands to tens of thousands of discrete transistors (typically germanium BJTs, gradually transitioning silicon BJTs). The CPUs of the early 1950s did not use transistors, they were built of hundreds to tens of thousands of vacuum tubes.
