† For conditions shown as MIN or MAX, use the appropriate value specified under recommended operating conditions.
‡ Timing interval error is defined as the difference between the measured value and the average value of a random sample from each process
run.
§ Values specified are for a device in a monostable circuit similar to Figure 2, with component values as follow: RA = 2 kΩ to 100 kΩ, C = 0.1µF.
¶ Values specified are for a device in an astable circuit similar to Figure 1, with component values as follow: RA = 1 kΩ to 100 kΩ, C = 0.1µF.
