Start-up circuit section
The start-up current is such low current level as typical 100μ
A,as shown in Fig.3,when the Vcc voltage is increased
from low level to start-up voltage Vcc
(START)
.
In this voltage range,only a few parts in this IC,which has the
function to make the output voltage low level,is alive and
Icc current is used to keep output low level.The large voltage
difference between Vcc
(START)
and Vcc
(STOP)
makes start-up
easy,because it takes rather long duration from Vcc
(START)
to
Vcc
(STOP)
.
Oscillator section
The oscillation waveform is the triangle one.The ON-duration
of output pulse depends on the rising duration of the triangle
waveform and dead-time is decided by the falling duration.
The rising duration is determined by the product of external
resistor R
ON
and capacitor C
F
and the falling duration is mainly
determined by the product of resistor R
OFF
and capacitor C
F
.

not operate
Fig.4 shows the equivalent charging and discharging circuit
diagram of oscillator.
The current flows through R
ON
from the constant voltage source
of 5.8V.C
F
is charged up by the same amplitude as R

current,when internal switch SW1,SW2 is switched to "charging
side".The rise rate of C

The cycle time of oscillation is given by the summation of
Equations 2 and 4.
The frequency including the dead-time is not influenced by the
temperature because of the built-in temperature compensating
circuit.
