Application Information
The oscillator of the 1842/43 family of PWM's is designed such that many values of RT and CT will give the
same oscillator frequency, but only one combination will yield a specific duty cycle at a given frequency.
Given:
Frequency ≡ f
Maximum Duty Cycle ≡ Dm
Calculate: RT = 267 �(1.7(61).7( 61−)1D/mDm)/D−m1 −1� (Ω)
where 0.3 < Dm < 0.95
CT
=
1.86 ∗ Dm
f ∗ RT
(µF)
For Duty-Cycles above 95% use:
VREF
RT
RT /CT
CT
GND
F ≈ 1.86 Where RT ≥ 5kΩ
