APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Linear Voltage Ramp
In the monostable mode, the resistor can be replaced by a
constant current source to provide a linear ramp voltage. The
capacitor still charges from 0 V
CC
to 2/3 V
CC
. The linear
ramp time is given by:

If V
B
is much larger than V
BE
, then t can be made
independent of V
CC
.

Missing Pulse Detector
The timer can be used to produce an output when an input
pulse fails to occur within the delay of the timer. To
accomplish this, set the time delay to be slightly longer than
the time between successive input pulses. The timing cycle
is then continuously reset by the input pulse train until a
change in frequency or a missing pulse allows completion of
the timing cycle, causing a change in the output level.
