noun
astable multivibrator
A type of electronic oscillator circuit that continuously switches between two states without a stable state. Used in computing and electronics.
非安定マルチバイブレータは、クロック信号の生成によく使われる。
Astable multivibrators are often used to generate clock signals.
A bistable multivibrator (flip-flop) has two stable states and can remain in either indefinitely, unlike the astable type which has no stable state.
Compound of 非安定 (hiantei, 'unstable') + マルチバイブレータ (maruchibaiburēta, from English 'multivibrator'). The term describes a multivibrator circuit with no stable state.
