Note that this circuit will not oscillate if RB is greater than 1/2 RA because the junction of RA
and RB cannot bring pin 2 down to 1/3 VCC and trigger the lower comparator.

Additional information
Adequate power supply bypassing is necessary to protect associated circuitry. The
minimum recommended is 0.1 µF in parallel with 1 µF electrolytic.
