High peak currents associated with capacitive loads neces-
sitate careful grounding techniques. Timing and bypass
capacitors should be connected close to Gnd in a single
point ground.
The transistor and 5kΩ potentiometer are used to sample
the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to
Sense.
