The IC 555 astable multivibrator is a configuration where the IC 555 output continuously switches between an ON state and an OFF state at a given frequency, determined by its RC timing components. Since in this configuration, the output of the IC 555 is never in a stable state, it is called an astable multivibrator. […]

Boolean Algebra in Logic Circuits Made Easy
Boolean algebra is a assortment of basic mathematical techniques applied to signify and communicate the logical procedures that happen within a digital circuit. Difference Between Boolean Algebra and Common Algebra Boolean algebra is much like common algebra. The main distinction is that in contrast to common algebra, in which we have parameters that can be […]
Wheatstone Bridge Circuits Explained with Calculations
A Wheatstone Bridge circuit is commonly used to measure resistance, inductance, capacitance, and impedance. These are made up of four parts or arms that are joined in series in a diamond like bridge configuration. These four arms carry the individual components such as resistor, inductor or capacitor connected across the fur junctions. An alternating current (AC) or […]
