Input <strong>and</strong> output waveforms for the astable multivibrator of Figure 7.6The output Q goes High, Q goes Low, the transistor is turned OFF, the capacitor begins to chargethrough the series combination of resistors R A <strong>and</strong> R B , <strong>and</strong> its voltage rises exponentially withtime constant t r = ( R A + R B )C <strong>and</strong> when it reaches the value v C = 2 ⁄ 3 V CC it resets the flip−flop<strong>and</strong> the cycle is repeated.We are interested in the pulse repetition frequency f = 1⁄T <strong>and</strong> the duty cycle T 1 ⁄ T whereT = T 1 + T 2 <strong>and</strong> the desired values are dependent on appropriate values of resistors R A <strong>and</strong> R B<strong>and</strong> the capacitor C .
