Astable Multivibrator Using 555 Timer

The Astable Multivibrator is another type of cross-coupled switching circuit that has NO stable output states as it changes from one state to the other all the time.

Astable Multivibrator using 555 Timer is very simple, easy to design, very stable and low cost. It can be used for timing from microseconds to hours. Due to these reasons 555 has a large number of applications and it is a popular IC among electronics hobbyists.
