Experiment No. 4 Astable & Monostable Multivibrator Using 555 Timer
Experiment No. 4
Aim: To design and simulate Astable and Monostable multivibrator using 555 timer.
Tools required:
Circuit diagram:
a) Astable multivibrator
b) Monostable Multivibrator
Design:
To design Astable multivibrator for f = 1 KHz and duty cycle D = 0.6 and Monostable
multivibrator for pulse width of 1.1 msec.
a) Astable multivibrator
f= 1 KHz, D= 0.6, assuming c = 0.1μF
D=
f=
( )
b) Monostable multivibrator
Pulse width = 1.1RA C, assuming C = 0.1 μF
m = 1.1 x RA x 0.1 μ
RA = 10 KΩ (Std)

Procedure:
Double click on Multisim simulation software icon placed on desktop and open the
software.
Click on “Place” icon and select “Component” further select database as “Master
database”.
Browse for “Basic” in group and select “Resistor” and place the same on schematic.
Browse for “Mixed” in group, select “LM555CM” and place the same on schematic.
Browse for “Sources” in group, select “Vcc” & “Vee” and place the same on
schematic.
Browse for “Sources” in group, select “Ground” and place the same on schematic.
Drag and drop “Oscilloscope” & “Signal generator” from instruments palate as
required.
Connect all the components as per the circuit diagram and assign designed values for
the same.
Double click on oscilloscope to observe input and output voltage signals on respective
channels.
Result:
Astable & Monostable multivibrator is designed and simulated using 555 Timer.
