Design Requirements

Clock input must have VOL and VOH levels that are less than and greater than 1/3 VDD. Modulation input can vary from ground to VDD. The application must be tolerant of a nonlinear transfer function; the relationship between modulation input and pulse width is not linear because the capacitor charge is based RC on an negative exponential curve.
