Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design an astable multivibrator using a 555 timer with a frequency of 20kHz. Determine the required resistor and capacitor values if R_A is twice R_B.

💡 Hint: Use the formula f = 1.44 / ((R_A + 2R_B) * C) to find values that satisfy the frequency condition.

Question 2

How would increasing the capacitance in a relaxation oscillator affect the overall frequency? Calculate the new frequency given the original capacitor value was 1μF and is changed to 2μF.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between capacitance and frequency in RC circuits.
