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.

During Under-Voltage Lock-Out, the output driver is biased to a high impedance state.
Pin 6 should be shunted to ground with a bleeder resistor to prevent activating the power switch
with output leakage current.
