The recurrence in hiccup mode can easily be adjusted by either reducing the timer or increasing the VCC capacitor. Figure 38
details the various time portion a hiccup is made of:

Figure 38. The Burst Period is Ensured by the VCC Capacitor
Charge / Discharge Cycle (here a 0.22 mF capacitor on timer)
If by design we have selected a 22 mF VCC capacitor, it
becomes easy to evaluate the burst period and its duty−cycle.
This can be done by properly identifying all time events on
Figure 38 and applying the classical formula:
t
+
CDV
I
• t1: I = ICC3 = 600 mA,
ΔV = 9 – 6.5 = 2.5 V ³ t1 = 91 ms
• t2: I = 3 mA, ΔV = 15 – 6.5 = 8.5 V ³ t1 = 62 ms
• t3: I = 600 mA, ΔV = 15 – 6.5 = 8.5 V ³ t1 = 311 ms
• t′1 = t1 = 91 ms
• t′2 = t2 = 62 ms
The total period duration is thus the sum of all these events
which leads to Tfault = 617 ms. If the timer lasts 100 ms, then
our duty−cycle in auto−recovery burst equals 100/(617 +
100) ≈ 13%, which is good. Should the user like to further
decrease or, to the contrary, increase this duty−cycle,
changing the VCC capacitor is an easy job.
