Product Overview
The Astable Multivibrator Using IC 555 is a versatile, pre-assembled electronics kit designed for generating continuous square wave oscillations without external triggers. Built around the industry-standard NE555 timer IC, this module delivers stable frequency output with adjustable duty cycles, making it perfect for timing circuits, LED flasher applications, and pulse generation. The kit features a durable FR4 PCB with clearly labeled components for easy identification and troubleshooting. Its compact design ensures seamless integration into breadboard projects or standalone circuits. The circuit operates on a wide voltage range (typically 5V-15V DC) and includes precision resistors and capacitors for accurate frequency control. Whether you’re prototyping a new design or conducting experiments, this astable multivibrator provides consistent performance with minimal noise interference. The kit comes with all necessary passive components pre-soldered, allowing immediate use upon power connection. Its open design also enables modifications for customized frequency ranges by simply changing resistor/capacitor values.
FAQs
1. What power supply does this astable multivibrator kit require?
The kit typically operates on 5V-15V DC power supply. Always check the specific configuration before connecting.
2. Can I adjust the output frequency of this multivibrator?
Yes, the frequency can be adjusted by changing the values of the timing resistors (R1, R2) and capacitor (C1) in the circuit.
3. Is this kit compatible with Arduino or other microcontrollers?
The output signal can be fed into microcontroller input pins, but you may need to ensure voltage levels match your microcontroller’s requirements.
4. What’s the maximum frequency this circuit can generate?
The maximum frequency depends on component values, but standard configurations typically reach up to 100kHz with appropriate components.
5. Does this kit include instructions for frequency calculation?
The standard 555 timer formula (f = 1.44/((R1+2R2)*C1)) applies, though specific component values may vary slightly in practice.
