Figure 21. 50% duty cycle oscillator
Note that this circuit will not oscillate if R
B
is greater than 1/2 R
A
because the junction of R
A
and R
B
cannot bring pin 2 down to 1/3 V
CC
and trigger the lower comparator.
4.6 Additional information
Adequate power supply bypassing is necessary to protect associated circuitry. The
minimum recommended is 0.1 µF in parallel with 1 µF electrolytic.
