Applications Information
C.L. SENSE VOLTAGE MULTIPLICATION
When a larger sense resistor value is desired, the voltage
divider network, consisting of R1 and R2, may be used. This
effectively multiplies the sense voltage by (1 + R1/R2). Also,
R1 can be replaced by a diode to increase current limit
sense voltage to about 800 mV (diode V

UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Under-voltage lockout is accomplished with few external
components. When V
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 adjust-
ing 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.
