Bistable Multivibrator using 555 Timer https://electrosome.com/bistable-multivibrator-555-timer/ https://electrosome.com/bistable-multivibrator-555-timer/#respond Sun, 03 Jan 2016 08:50:32 +0000 https://electrosome.com/?p=3670 As the name indicates, a bistable multivibrator has 2 stable states. It can be switched from one state to another by providing an external trigger. It can be used for storing a binary digit (bit) as it has 2 stable states (0 or 1). So it is commonly used in digital circuits, where it is named […]

FM Generation using 555 Timer https://electrosome.com/fm-generation-using-555-timer/ https://electrosome.com/fm-generation-using-555-timer/#comments Sun, 19 May 2013 18:53:46 +0000 https://electrosome.com/?p=6341 In communication systems, Frequency Modulation (FM) is the process in which information (message signal) is transmitted over a carrier wave by varying its instantaneous frequency. The difference between instantaneous frequency and central frequency of the carrier will be directly proportional to the instantaneous value of the amplitude of message signal. 555 Timer wired in Astable Mode can be used for […]
