Figure 5. Oscillator Waveforms and Maximum Duty Cycle
Oscillator timing capacitor, C
T
, is charged by V
REF
through R
T
and discharged by an internal current source. During the
discharge time, the internal clock signal blanks the output to the low state. Selection of R
T
and C
T
therefore determines both
oscillator frequency and maximum duty cycle. Charge and discharge times are determined by the formulas:
