Mono-stable circuit

A Monostable Multivibrator, also known as a one-shot pulse generator, is a timing circuit that produces a single

output pulse of a specific duration when triggered. Unlike the astable multivibrator which generates

continuous pulses, the monostable circuit stays in a stable state until it receives a trigger input, after which it

temporarily switches to an unstable state for a set time period before returning to the stable state

automatically.

In this experiment, we use the 555 Timer IC configured in monostable mode to generate a fixed-duration

output pulse. This pulse width depends on the values of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C) connected to the IC.

The circuit is widely used in timing applications, such as delay circuits, pulse width control, and switching

applications.
