Mathematical Formula & Engineering Rules

Astable Frequency (f) = 1.44 / [ (R1 + 2R2) × C ]
Duty Cycle = [ (R1 + R2) / (R1 + 2R2) ] × 100%
Monostable Pulse Width (T) = 1.1 × R × C

Worked Engineering Example

Astable Example: R1 = 10 kΩ, R2 = 47 kΩ, C = 10 μF.

  • Period (T): 0.693 × (10k + 2×47k) × 10μF = 0.7207 seconds.
  • Frequency: 1 / 0.7207 = 1.387 Hz.
  • Duty Cycle: (10k + 47k) / (10k + 94k) = 54.8%.
