2.3 Propagation Delay

The Total Propagation delay of the 431 devices depend on the internal response time and rise/fall time of VKA. Rise time depends on the Rsup and the total capacitor from cathode to ground. Fall time depends on the total capacitor from cathode to ground and internal resistance in the comparator mode. Section 4.2 discusses the delay time for 431 devices in detail.
