🔍 Key Concepts

• Frequency division in digital electronics • Behavior of bistable vs astable multivibrators • How digital circuits use counting or toggling to divide an input signal

💭 Think About

• Which type of multivibrator has two stable states and can change state (toggle) on each input pulse? • How could a circuit that toggles on every input pulse be used to make an output with half the input frequency? • Do simple logic gates by themselves (like an OR gate) typically provide stable, counted division of frequency?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option corresponds to a flip-flop / two stable states device • Verify which options are oscillators that generate a free‑running frequency rather than divide an existing one • Confirm that the chosen circuit can toggle or count pulses to create a lower-frequency output (e.g., 1/2, 1/4 of the input)
