ÏÏÏÏÏ
ÏÏÏÏÏ
As shown in Figure 12, adding a second resistor, R B , to the circuit of Figure 9 and connecting the trigger input to the threshold input causes the timer to self-trigger and run as a multivibrator. The capacitor C charges through RA and RB and then discharges through RB only. Therefore, the duty cycle is controlled by the values of R A and RB.
ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ Astable Operation
This astable connection results in capacitor C charging and discharging between the threshold-voltage level ( ≈ 0.67 × VCC) and the trigger-voltage level ( ≈ 0.33 × VCC). As in the monostable circuit, charge and discharge times (and, therefore, the frequency and duty cycle) are independent of the supply voltage.

NOTE A: Decoupling CONT voltage to ground with a capacitor can improve operation. This should be evaluated for individual applications. Pin numbers shown are for the D, JG, P, PS, and PW packages.
