Examples
Configuration: astable
R1 (ohms): 10000
R2 (ohms): 15000
Capacitance (µF): 10
Limitations
- R1/R2 ohms and C µF positive. Monostable uses ln(3) R1 C; astable uses ln(2)(R1+R2)C and ln(2)R2C. Ignore R2 in monostable mode. No diode-modified topology, IC thresholds/tolerances or hardware suitability guarantee.
- Scalar numeric inputs use explicit decimal syntax and IEEE-754 arithmetic; unless a tighter bound is stated, positive values are 1e-12–1e12 and nonnegative values 0–1e12. Derived inventory counts above 1 billion and nonfinite results are refused. Combined input limit400,000 UTF-8 bytes;complete JSON output limit4MiB. Numeric/code input controls allow128 characters. All processing stays in your browser.
