Parameters ensured by design and/or characterization, if not production tested. Temperature stability, sometimes referred to as average temperature coefficient, is described by the equation: Temp Stability = VREF (max) - VREF (min)/TJ (max) - TJ (min). VREF (max) and VREF (min) are the maximum and minimum reference voltage measured over the appropriate temperature range. Note that the extremes in voltage do not necessarily occur at the extremes in temperature. Output frequency equals ocscillator frequency for the UC1842A and UC1843A. Output frequency is one half oscillator frequency for UC18444A and UC1845A. This parameter is measured with RT = 10 kΩ to VREF. This contributes approximately 300 µA of current to the measurement. The total current flowing into the RT/CT pin will be approximately 300 µA higher than the measured value.

The transistor and 5k potentiometer are used to sam ple the oscillator waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3. Figure 7.
