7.2.2 Pulse-Width Modulation

To modify timer operation, apply an external voltage (or current) to CONT to modulate the internal threshold and trigger voltages. Figure 7-3 shows a circuit for pulse-width modulation. A continuous input pulse train triggers the monostable circuit, and a control signal modulates the threshold voltage. Figure 7-4 shows the resulting duty cycle versus control voltage transfer function. Attempting to run under 10% duty cycle can result in inconsistent output pulses. Attempting to run close to 100% duty cycle results in frequency division by 2, then 3, then 4.

A. The modulating signal can be direct or capacitively coupled to CONT. For direct coupling, consider the effects of modulation source voltage and impedance on the bias of the timer.
