Hi friend......


An astable multivibrator does not require an input clock, therefore can be described as "free-running" in that its running without a reference.

So, astable multivibrator is also called the free running oscillator.

Hope you understand.
 
thanks ... just a nomenclature issue!

cheersvv :)
