UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Under-voltage lockout is accomplished with few external components. When Vin becomes lower than the zener
breakdown voltage, the output transistor is turned off. This occurs because diode D1 will then become forward
biased, allowing resistor R3 to sink a greater current from the non-inverting input than is sunk by the parallel
combination of R1 and R2 at the inverting terminal. R3 should be one-fifth of the value of R1 and R2 in parallel.

MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE LIMITING
The maximum duty cycle can be externally limited by adjusting the charge to discharge ratio of the oscillator
capacitor with a single external resistor. Typical values are 50 μA for the charge current, 450 μA for the
discharge current, and a voltage swing from 200 mV to 750 mV. Therefore, R1 is selected for the desired
charging and discharging slopes and C1 is readjusted to set the oscillator frequency.
