INTRODUCTION:
The 555 timer is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delay or oscillation. IC 555 timer
is a one of the most widely used IC in electronics and is used in various electronic circuits for its robust
and stable properties. It works as square-wave form generator with duty cycle varying from 50% to
100%, Oscillator and can also provide time delay in circuits. The 555 timer got its name from the three
5k ohm resistor connected in a voltage-divider pattern.

ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR FOR DUTY CYCLE= 50%

DESIGN-
Vcc-5V
RA-10K
RB-10K
RA=RB=R=10K
C=0.1 F
C1=0.01 F
TON =0.692RAC
TON =0.693ms
TTOTAL=1.3RC
TTOTAL=1.38ms
Duty Cycle % = (TON / TTOTAL)*100=46.3%

ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR FOR DUTY CYCLE > 50%

DESIGN-
The voltage across capacitor C is given by:
VC =VF +[VI-VF]e-t/rc
VCC=5V
RA =15K
RB =10K
C=0.1 F
C1=0.01 F
TON = 0.693(RA+RB)*C
TON =1.7325 ms
TOFF=0.693RBC

 TOFF=0.693ms
TTOTAL= TON +TOFF
TTOTAL=2.425ms
Duty Cycle % = (TON / TTOTAL)*100=71.4%

ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR FOR DUTY CYCLE< 50%

DESIGN-
The voltage across capacitor C is given by:
VC =VF +[VI-VF]e-t/rc
VCC=5V
RA =5K
RB =10K
C=0.1 F
C1=0.01 F
TON = 0.693RAC
TON =0.346ms
TOFF=0.693RBC
TOFF=0.693ms
TTOTAL= TON +TOFF
TTOTAL=1.0395ms
Duty Cycle % = (TON / TTOTAL)*100=33.33%

MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR USING 555 TIMER-

DESIGN-
The voltage across capacitor C is given by:
VC =VF +[VI-VF]e-t/rc
VCC=5V
R =10K
C=0.1 F
C1=0.01 F
T = 1.1RC
T= 1.1ms

APPLICATIONS-
Missing Pulse Detector: This circuit is one shot and it is continuously retriggered by
input pulse train. A missing pulse can prevent retriggering before completion of the
timing cycle. Then output will be low till a new input pulse arrives and continuous alarms
will be developed for a missing pulse
Electric Eye Alarm: A light dependent resistance (LDR) is used to sense light. When
light falls on the LDR, it will be shorted and the timer circuit will be reset. The pitch of
speaker can be controlled by varying resistance R2.
Dark Detector: It is used to detect darkness all of a sudden. The light dependent
resistance(LDR) is used to detect darkness or illumination below a limit value. Due to
absence of light, LDR will be short and circuit will be reset. Then speaker develop the
alarm.

 Schmitt Trigger: It removes any noise signal in input and it generates square wave
output signal.
Metronome: Metronome is used in the music industry to produce the rhythm by a toc-
toc sound. The speed of sound can be adjusted by the potentiometer R1.

RESULT-
The output of monostable multivibrator & astable multivibrator for duty cycle greater than, less
than and equal to 50% have been produced.
