dictionary:astable

The opposite of stable; it is unstable. Usually it is used in electronics to describe a particular circuit or part of a circuit. In an astable circuit, the output continually switches between the high and low states without any intervention from the user, producing a square wave. An astable has no stable state; hence the name astable.
