I understood the concept of operation of the multivibrator (astable) from the Wikipedia article, but I am having trouble framing equations for the math.
From what i can see, the capacitor needs to get charged to 0.6V before it discharges and is charged from the other side.
But for the time in which it gets charged to 0.6V, the other capacitor has already charged a whole lot(a value which I can't figure out because the setup does not work until i reach one of the two states-Q1 is on or Q2 is on)
So how do i frame equations for the time period and frequency, which has conveniently become T=ln(2)*2RC (if R1=R2 and C1=C2)
Thank you.
