TOPIC 3: ASTABLE MODE
FORMULA FOR GENERATING
DELAY TIME
TIME HIGH, TH
Output of the astable circuit is high during the
charge time, TH:
TH = 0.693(RA + RB) C
TIME LOW, TL
The output is low during the discharge time, TL:
TL = 0.693(RB) C
DUTY CYCLE, D
The ratio of RA and RB precisely sets the duty
cycle, D:
D= TH/(TH+TL )
