Multivibrator

Wikipedia:
A multivibrator is an electronic circuit used to implement a variety of simple two-state systems such as oscillators, timers and flip-flops. It is characterized by two amplifying devices (transistors, electron tubes or other devices) cross-coupled by resistors and capacitors. The most common form is the astable or oscillating type, which generates a square wave—the high level of harmonics in its output is what gives the multivibrator its common name.

  1. The multivibrator is one form of relaxation oscillator, the frequency of which may be controlled by external synchronizing pulses.
