Hex inverter
12. Application information
Some examples of applications for the HEF4069UB.
Figure 7 shows an astable relaxation oscillator using two HEF4069UB inverters and 2
BAW62 diodes. The oscillation frequency is mainly determined by R1 C1, provided
R1 << R2 and R2 C2 << R1 C1.
The function of R2 is to minimize the influence of the forward voltage across the protection
diodes on the frequency; C2 is a stray (parasitic) capacitance.
The period Tp is given by Tp = T1 + T2,
where:
T1
=
R 1 C 1 I n -V---D----D-----+-----V----S--T-
VST
T2
=
R1C1In
2----V----D---D-----–-----V----S--T-
VDD – VST
VST = the signal threshold level of the inverter.
The period is fairly independent of VDD, VST and temperature. The duty factor, however, is
influenced by VST.
