  "term": "Astable",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "Describing an electronic circuit that continuously oscillates between two unstable states without external triggering, thereby generating a continuous square wave or pulse train. An astable multivibrator is a common example, producing a free-running output signal. The frequency of oscillation is determined by the circuit's component values, such as resistors and capacitors.",
