Multivibrator/Timer CAD: National Semiconductor Application Brief 7 March 1983

This document provides a computer-aided design (CAD) program for designing multivibrators and timers using BASIC code. The program allows the design of two types of multivibrators and one type of timer by inputting component values to calculate timing parameters. National Semiconductor application notes should be consulted for device specifications. The program listings show the components supported and algorithms used to calculate timing values from resistance, capacitance, and timing parameters.
