Hey there!
I did learned many basic and intricate workings of Multivibrators inside the IC555 timer in my college - they are okay and quite understandable because of the R-S flip-flop thingy (I build a truth table for this) and the pair of comparators.
Unfortunately, the discrete versions AIN'T easy. The last part - Astable using 2 BJTs are horribly difficult to be understood. I know there's positive feedback inside these configurations, like the ones in Op-amps, but the discrete versions just made my head spin.
To be honest, I can build up all three types of multivibrators using IC555 myself with the aid of my knowledge, but NOT any of these discrete versions.
Anyone has experience learning the discrete versions of these Multivibrators in college?
