Equation 10

Equation 11

These equations fit well with the measured values, especially in the frequency range of 30 to

100 kHz. Figure 8 shows a comparison between the measured and computed data of fmin

(at Cf = 470 pF).

To summarize:

If Rpre is not connected at pin 2, there is no Δf, so fmax and fmin have the same value.

Furthermore, there is no Imax, that is to say there is no Ifs current. In this case, Cpre is

charged only once by Ipre = 2.3 µA up to 3.5 V (Figure 7 shows the first voltage rise only).

When Cpre is discharged, no Ifs current is present to recharge it. If Rpre is connected after

the preheating and ignition phases, pin 1(Cpre) is at 4.8 to 5 V with a current capability of a

few µA (1/6 IRpre). If Rpre is not connected, Cpre is at GND level in the normal operation

phase.
