Multivibrator

The document discusses different types of multivibrators including astable, monostable, and bistable multivibrators. It provides explanations and examples of each type. Specifically, it notes that astable multivibrators continually switch between states without a stable state, monostable multivibrators have one stable state and one unstable state, and bistable multivibrators are stable in either state. The document also discusses characteristics like feedback factors and applications such as using astable multivibrators as square wave generators.
