	555 Timer/Oscillator Tutorial
		In both the monostable and astable time modes, this transistor switch is used to clamp the appropriate nodes of the timing network to ground.
		The astable multivibrator generates a continuous stream of rectangular off-on pulses that switch between two voltage levels.
		The astable circuit is an oscillator whose frequency is dependent upon the R1, R2, and C values.

		Astable multivibrator devices have no stable states, instead they continually switch between two unstable states.
		The operation is similar to that of the one shot in its unstable state, but the two capacitive coupling networks prevents either inverter from having a stable state.
		The 555 timer is an integrated circuit that may be used to implement clocking functions.

	Science Fair Projects - Astable
		An astable multivibrator is an electronic circuit that has two states, neither one which is stable.
		The time spent in each state is usually controlled by the charging (or discharging) of a capacitor through a resistor.
		There are several types of astables, and they can be made in many different ways.

		It operates in three modes: Astable oscillating, monostable one-shot, and monostable delay-on.
		An astable timer is one that is constantly pulsing, never staying in one state or the other.
		In astable operation, the 555 timer chip continuously switches between two states: zero volts and 9 volts (if 9 volts is the input voltage).

	Astable Multivibrator
		To understand why the astable multivibrator oscillates, assume that transistor Q1 saturates and transistor Q2 cuts off when the circuit is energized.
		We assume Q1 saturates and Q2 is in cutoff because the circuit is symmetrical; that is, R1 = R4, R2 = R3, C1 = C2, and Q1 = Q2.
		The prt of the input triggers must be shorter than the natural free-running prt of the astable multivibrator, or the trigger prf must be slightly higher than the free-running prf of the circuit.

	The Flip Flop
		A free-running multivibrator is also called an astable multivibrator (meaning is has no stable states) and that is why it flips from one state to the other continuously.
		The standard way to draw this type of multivibrator is to show the two capacitors crossing at the centre of the circuit, this also gives the circuit symmetry and makes it easy to recognise.
		The astable multivibrator is also called an oscillator and when it is connected to an IC it will provide pulses called clock pulses.

		Data sheets for the 555 Timer use the value 1.44 and 0.693 as constants in the timing calculations depending on the way in which the equation was written.

	Astable Multivibrator
		As shown in the schematic diagram here, the astable multivibrator simply extends the modification that converted the bistable multivibrator to a monostable version of the circuit.
		The operating frequency of the circuit is the reciprocal of the period, or 0.5 Hz.
		While it is possible to keep the monostable circuit in place and just modify it for astable operation, such a procedure would be more confusing in a pictorial assembly procedure such as this.

	555 and 556 Timer Circuits
		An astable circuit produces a 'square wave', this is a digital waveform with sharp transitions between low (0V) and high (+Vs).
		The time period (T) of the square wave is the time for one complete cycle, but it is usually better to consider frequency (f) which is the number of cycles per second.
		The duty cycle of an astable circuit is the proportion of the complete cycle for which the output is high (the mark time).
