VCC = 5V

Top Trace: Input 3V/Div.

TIME = 20

μs/DIV.

Middle Trace: Output 5V/Div.

R1 = 47kΩ

Bottom Trace: Capacitor Voltage 1V/Div.

R2 = 100kΩ

RE = 2.7 kΩ

50% DUTY CYCLE OSCILLATOR

For a 50% duty cycle, the resistors RA and RB may be connected as in Figure 25. The time period for the output

high is the same as previous, t1 = 0.693 RA C. For the output low it is t2 =

(8)

Thus the frequency of oscillation is:

Figure 25. 50% Duty Cycle Oscillator

Note that this circuit will not oscillate if RB is greater than 1/2 RA because the junction of RA and RB cannot bring

pin 2 down to 1/3 VCC and trigger the lower comparator.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Adequate power supply bypassing is necessary to protect associated circuitry. Minimum recommended is 0.1

μF

in parallel with 1

μF electrolytic.

Lower comparator storage time can be as long as 10

μs when pin 2 is driven fully to ground for triggering. This

limits the monostable pulse width to 10

μs minimum.

Delay time reset to output is 0.47

μs typical. Minimum reset pulse width must be 0.3μs, typical.

Pin 7 current switches within 30ns of the output (pin 3) voltage.
