    Finally someone explain that the capacitor is the key for changing the output state in the astable mode, other videos just throw formulas at your face and just skip the key of the thing with some "you just suppose to know that" vibes, what a shame.
    Appreciate it!

      The criticisms of his English are unfounded. His English is very good. His accent is still very strong, but I had no trouble understanding him. Accents only go away with time and exposure to native speakers, which not everyone has access to.

      6:48 If anybody who reads this is curious how to derive that t=1.1*C*R result, its simple.
      capacitor
      --------| |--------
      | |
      | \
      | / resistor
      | \
      | /
      | |
      | __ Vcc __|
      constant Dc
      dq = i dt
      i = dq/dt
      Using Kirchoff's law,
      q/C + R i - Vcc = 0
      R (dq/dt) = (Vcc . C - q) /C
      dq/ (Vcc - q) = dt/ CR
      Apply integration on both sides with limits LHS.. from 0 to q, and RHS..from 0 to t.
      then you will get,
      - Ln ((Vcc .C - q) / Vcc .C) = t/CR
      From this we can easily get this result, i.e
      q= Vcc. C (1- e^(-t/CR))
      since q=CV,
      V = Vcc(1- e^(-t/CR))
      Now apply V= 2/3 Vcc in this formula,
      you will end up with t= ln(3). C. R
      [ln(3) = 1.0986 = 1.1(approx)]
      Happy learning!

  • @Driftload

    Very well explained video, I am an electronics noob but I think I understand the modes to an adequate extent now.
    One thing though - it might be capacitor fundamentals but in *astable* mode how comes the input voltage (to the entire circuit) doesn't stop the capacitor from discharging?

    • @HowToMechatronics
      @HowToMechatronics  Před 6 lety +4

      Thanks. The capacitor is discharging because in that case the discharging capacitor is active, meaning the the VCC is connected to Ground via the R1 resistor, or if there wasn't a capacitor the voltage at R2, C2 or the threshold and trigger pins would have been zero.However, the voltage is not zero because the capacitor was charged and now is discharging from those 2/3Vcc until 1/3VCC.

      Addition to How To Mechatronics, Current is easily flow to the discharge because there's no resistance (very minimal resistance) at the discharge transistor vs R2 that have some value of resistor. So VCC get attract to discharge transistor easily ._.v
