EXPT: 4
Objective:
This experiment is intended to measure the unknown capacitance using
mono-stable(one-shot) mode of 555 timer.
Theory:
When the 555 timer is operated as a mono-stable (one-shot) mode the output voltage is
low until a negative going trigger pulse is applied to the input. The output switches to
high as soon as it is triggered by a negative pulse. The time the output is high is
determined by the RC network externally connected to the IC. At the end of the timing
interval. The output returns to the low state again. Thus a mono-stable 555 timer
produces a positive plus at the output those width is given by t=1.1RC seconds.
