FUNCTION TABLE
Notes
1. For correct power-on reset, the supply voltage should
be above 8.5 V. For V
DD
< 8.5 V, disable the autoreset
and connect AR to VDD.
2. The timer is initialized on a reset pulse and the output
changes state after 2
n-1
counts and remains in that
state (latched). Reset of this latch is obtained by
master reset or by a LOW to HIGH transition on the
MODE input.
H = HIGH state (the more positive voltage)
L = LOW state (the less positive voltage)
X = state is immaterial

Timing component limitations
The oscillator frequency is mainly determined by
RtCt, provided Rt << RSand RSC2 << RtCt. The function of
RSis to minimize the influence of the forward voltage
across the input protection diodes on the frequency. The
stray capacitance C2 should be kept as small as possible.
In consideration of accuracy, Ctmust be larger than the
inherent stray capacitance. Rtmust be larger than the
LOCMOS ‘ON’ resistance in series with it, which typically
is 500 Ω at VDD= 5 V, 300 Ω at VDD= 10 V and 200 Ω at
V
DD
= 15 V.
The recommended values for these components to
maintain agreement with the typical oscillation formula are:
Ct≥ 100 pF, up to any typical value,
10 kΩ≤Rt≤1MΩ.
