Electronics System 1

Code: 4868.19

A comprehensive system introducing the principles of electronics

The Electronics System 1 is designed to be rugged and easy to use.

Electronics System 1 has modular design: each block contains a fully functional electronic component, from a potentiometer to a photo resistor. Using this system, it’s possible to observe and to understand how semi-conductor components work and how they behave in static and dynamic circuits. Electronics System 1 can be mounted on the Altay Magnetic Board (code 4114.30), for class demonstration experiments. The system includes a durable Aluminium carry case with foam inserts.

EXAMPLE OF USE: The Astable Multivibrator

Building a flip-flop circuit.

An astable multivibrator is a two-stage switching circuit where the output of the first stage is connected to the input of the second and vice-versa. The outputs of both stages are complementary. This multivibrator generates square waves without any external triggering pulse. The circuit has two stable states and switches back and forth from one state to another, remaining in each state for a period depending upon the discharging of the capacitive circuit. The multivibrator is an example of a relaxation oscillator, whose frequency may be controlled by external synchronizing pulses.
