Purpose

This work is intended to historically commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the invention of a new type of electronic circuit, referred to in 1919 by Abraham and Bloch as a multivibrator and by Eccles and Jordan as a trigger relay (later known as a flip-flop).

Design/methodology/approach

The author also considers the circuit-technical side of this new type of circuit, considering the technological change as well as the mathematical concepts developed in the context of the analysis of the circuit.

Findings

The multivibrator resulted in a “circuit shape” which became one of the most applied nonlinear circuits in electronics. It is shown that at the beginning the multivibrator as well as the flip-flop circuits were used because their interesting properties in the frequency domain.

Originality/value

Therefore, it is a very interesting subject to consider the history of the multivibrator as electronic circuits in different technologies including tube, transistors and integrated circuits as well as the mathematical theory based on the concept from electrical circuit theory.

100年多振动器的历史，电路和数学分析

目的

这项工作旨在历史性地纪念新型电子电路发明一百周年，在1919年，亚伯拉罕和布洛赫将其称为多谐振荡器，埃克尔斯和约旦将其称为触发继电器（后来称为触发器） ）。

设计/方法/方法

作者还考虑了这种技术变化以及在分析电路的背景下发展出的数学概念，从而考虑了这种新型电路的电路技术方面。

发现

多谐振荡器产生的“电路形状”成为电子学中应用最广泛的非线性电路之一。结果表明，在开始时使用了多谐振荡器以及触发器电路，因为它们在频域中具有令人感兴趣的特性。

创意/价值

因此，将多谐振荡器的历史视为包括管，晶体管和集成电路的不同技术中的电子电路以及基于电路理论的数学理论是一个非常有趣的主题。
