Applications of Astable Multivibrator



1. The Astable Multivibrator circuit mainly used as a continuous wave generation circuit.

2. Astable Multivibrators are used in Frequency Modulation Circuits.

3. Astable Multivibrators are used in analog as well as digital timer Circuits.

4. They are also used in Voltage to Frequency converter circuits.

5. Astable Multivibrator circuit can generate also Square Wave, for this reason, they are used in digital transmission, receiver, television broadcast, etc.

6. They are used for pulse synchronization or pulse position modulation.



7. They are used as timing oscillator or clock in a computer system.

8. They are used in Radio Equipment such as Transmitter and Receiver Circuit.

9. In earlier days, astable multivibrators are used for morse code generation.

10. They are used in digital Flip-Flop Circuits, Electronic Register Circuits.

11. They are used in flashing lights, automatic switching circuits.

12. They are used for speed control of DC motor with Pulse Width Modulation Technique.


Advantages of Astable Multivibrator



1. They are very simple in design.

2. They are very reliable.

3. They are very easy to construct with a very low cost.

4. They do not need any external triggering.

5. They can run continuously for a very large amount of time without any problem.



Disadvantages of Astable Multivibrator


The continuous pulse generation by this multivibrator circuit depends upon the positive feedback. So due to the resistance in the circuit, this multivibrator cannot transfer the whole output signal to the input. So a small amplifier circuit is used with this multivibrator circuit which restores the lost energy.

Alternating Current

  What Is Alternating Current? An  alternating current  can be defined as a current that changes its magnitude and polarity at regular intervals of time. It can also be defined as an electrical current that repeatedly changes or reverses its direction opposite to that of Direct Current or DC, which always flows in a single direction as shown below From the graph, we can see that the charged particles in AC tend to start moving from zero. It increases to a maximum and then decreases back to zero completing one positive cycle. The particles then reverse their direction and reach the maximum in the opposite direction after which AC again returns to the original value completing a negative cycle. The same cycle is repeated again and again. Alternating currents are also accompanied usually by alternating voltages. Besides, alternating current is also easily transformed from a higher voltage level to a lower voltage level.

SOLAR TRANSFORMERS

  The transformers required for wind power and solar DPV require special design features to meet the challenging operating conditions. The industry today has developed different types of transformers for the application. The last few decades have seen very rapid development of renewable energy, especially, distributed photovoltaic (DPV) and wind power. It is estimated that at least 40 per cent of electricity generation by year 2040 would be from renewable energy sources and this would give appreciable reduction of the present level of carbon dioxide emissions of about 10 billion tons per year. The transformer industry is rising to this challenge and has developed special transformers for the DPV generation and wind generation. Transformers are critical components in solar energy production and distribution. Historically, transformers have ‘stepped-up’ or ‘stepped-down’ energy from non-renewable sources. There are different types of solar transformers including distribution, station, su
