Application Information (See Functional Diagram)
An external capacitor C is charged and discharged by two
current sources. Current source #2 is switched on and off by a
flip-flop, while current source #1 is on continuously. Assuming
that the flip-flop is in a state such that current source #2 is off,
and the capacitor is charged with a current I, the voltage
across the capacitor rises linearly with time. When this voltage
reaches the level of comparator #1 (set at 2/3 of the supply
voltage), the flip-flop is triggered, changes states, and
releases current source #2. This current source normally
carries a current 2I, thus the capacitor is discharged with a
net-current I and the voltage across it drops linearly with time.
When it has reached the level of comparator #2 (set at 1/3 of
the supply voltage), the flip-flop is triggered into its original
state and the cycle starts again.
Four waveforms are readily obtainable from this basic
generator circuit. With the current sources set at I and 2I
respectively, the charge and discharge times are equal. Thus
a triangle waveform is created across the capacitor and the
flip-flop produces a square wave. Both waveforms are fed to
buffer stages and are available at pins 3 and 9.
