Combination of astable and bistable MVBRs, connected so diagonally opposite transistors switch on and off together, minimizes current drain in battery-powered signal generator. Period of square wave is approximately equal to 1.4CR, and peak load current can be up to 70 mA with 24-V battery supply. Circuit will tolerate wide range of values for CB.-J. C.
