The supply for the TLC555-Q1 device, the OPA2377-Q1 op amp, as well as the reference voltage for setting the duty cycle is derived from the precision shunt regulator (0.5%) TL431-Q1 (see Figure 19). The device is supplied by the VCC (7.5 V) output of the TPS92691 device and regulates this voltage down to a precision 5 V (V5V) set by the resistors R7, R8, and R9. Additionally, the reference voltage for the op amp, which is used to set the duty cycle, is derived from this voltage that resistor divider R8 and R9 generate.
