Experiment 4 :LED Flickering Circuit

Theory

Fig.11-7 is a circuit for the experiment of astable multivibrator circuit. R9 and R14 are used for the flickering of LED1 and LED2. When TR3 is conducted, LED1 is turned on, and when TR4 is conducted, LED2 is turned on. The transistor TR3 and TR4 are conducted in turn by the astable multivibrator, and turns on the LED1 and turns off the LED2. The frequency characteristic of the switch is as below.

f= 1/(0.69(R13∙C7+R10∙C6))

f= 1/(1.38∙R∙C)
(Here, R10=R13=R, C6=C7=C)

Experiment Process

1. Using Block c of M11 board, make a connection as in fig.11-7.

2. Make the output power of DC power supplier as 10V and connect it to the circuit.

3. Measure the waveform of base and collector terminals of TR3 and TR4 using the oscilloscope and record the result in the relevant column of table 11-5.

4. Calculate the frequency characteristic of the oscillator using the formula below.

f= 1/(0.69(R13∙C7+R10∙C6))
