APPLICATION INFORMATION
Some examples of applications for the HEF4069UB are shown below.
HEF4069UB
gates
In Fig.7 an astable relaxation oscillator is given. The oscillation frequency is mainly determined by R1C1, provided
R1 << R2 and R2C2 << R1C1.
(a)
(b)
The function of R2 is to minimize the influence of the forward voltage across
the protection diodes on the frequency; C2 is a stray (parasitic) capacitance.
