ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Adequate power supply bypassing is necessary to protect
associated circuitry. Minimum recommended is 0.1µF in par-
allel with 1µF electrolytic.
Lower comparator storage time can be as long as 10µs
when pin 2 is driven fully to ground for triggering. This limits
the monostable pulse width to 10µs minimum.
Delay time reset to output is 0.47µs typical. Minimum reset
pulse width must be 0.3µs, typical.
Pin 7 current switches within 30ns of the output (pin 3)
voltage.
