A multivibrator circuit based on chaos generation

Abstract

"We present a parameterized method to design multivibrator circuits via piecewise-linear (PWL) chaotic systems, which can exhibit double-scroll oscillations. The circuit is conformed exploiting a parametric modulation that manipulates the equilibrium stability of each linear subsystem. Chua's oscillator is used as benchmark to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method to design multivibrator circuits. Thus, our proposal allows the design of the three configurations of a multivibrator: monostable, astable, and bistable. Potential applications are illustrated designing a pulse generator and a full S-R flip flop device based on our all-in-one multivibrator circuit."
