Figure 1. Open Loop Test Circuit
High peak currents associated with capacitive loads necessitate careful grounding techniques Timing and bypass capacitors
should be connected close to pin 5 in a single point ground. The transistor and 5kΩ potentiometer are used to sample the
oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3.
