Having two stable states.
1949D. Sayre in B. Chance et al. Waveforms v. 164 The basic plate-to-grid-coupled bistable multivibrator is illustrated. Ibid., Bistable circuits have also been called ‘scaling’ circuits, ‘scale-of-two’ circuits, and in England ‘lockover’ circuits. 1951Wireless Engineer XXVIII. 101/2 Two-position (bistable) trigger circuits. 1952Proc. Inst. Radio Engineers XL. 1531/2 The operation of this circuit may be monostable, bistable, or astable (oscillatory), depending on the nature of the emitter load. 1962Gloss. Automatic Data Processing (B.S.I.) 58 Toggle, bistable trigger circuit, a trigger circuit which has two quasi-stable or stable states and which requires an appropriate excitation in each state to cause a transition to the other. 1970Nature 24 Oct. 319/2 It is, however, possible to obtain bistable switching action in which the device remains indefinitely in the desired ‘on’ or ‘off’ state until specifically switched out of it. |
