Fig. 4. Open-loop laboratory test fixture: Careful grounding techniques are necessary for high peak
currents associated with capacitive loads. Timing and bypass capacitors should be connected to GND pin
in a single point ground. The transistor and 5K potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator waveform
and apply an adjustable ramp to the ISENSE pin
