23. An astable 555 timer has the following number of stable states:
  • 0
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
Show Answer
24. Which mode of operation is being used when a 555 timer chip has two external resistors and an external capacitor?
  • monostable
  • pulse stretching
  • Schmitt triggering
  • astable
Show Answer
25. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a retriggerable monostable multivibrator?
  • It is a dual multivibrator.
  • It has an active-HIGH reset, which terminates all timing functions.
  • It has no internal timing resistor.
  • none of the above
Show Answer
26. The pulse width out of a one-shot multivibrator increases when the:
  • supply voltage increases
  • timing resistor decreases
  • UTP decreases
  • timing capacitance increases
Show Answer
27. If the resistor in the Schmitt trigger astable multivibrator is a variable resistor, what part of the output voltage waveform will change when the resistance is changed?
  • the shape of the waveform
  • the amplitude of the waveform
  • the period of the waveform
  • none of the above
Show Answer
28. If Vcc of a 555 timer circuit is set to +10 V what is the level of output voltage from the circuit?
  • VOH = 10 V, VOL = 0 V
  • VOH = 10 V, VOL = 0.1 V
  • VOH = 8.5 V, VOL = 0 V
  • VOH = 8.5 V, VOL = 0.1 V
Show Answer
