Applications Information
Figure 5 shows the waveforms generated in this mode of
operation.

C = 0.01µF
The charge time (output high) is given by:
And the discharge time (output low) by:
Thus the total period is:
The frequency of oscillation is:
Figure 6 may be used for quick determination of these RC
values.
The duty cycle is:

FREQUENCY DIVIDER
The monostable circuit of Figure 1 can be used as a fre-
quency divider by adjusting the length of the timing cycle.
Figure 7 shows the waveforms generated in a divide by three
circuit.

PULSE WIDTH MODULATOR
When the timer is connected in the monostable mode and
triggered with a continuous pulse train, the output pulse
width can be modulated by a signal applied to pin 5. Figure
8 shows the circuit, and in Figure 9 are some waveform
examples.
