Note 6:
Output frequency equals oscillator frequency for the UC1842A and UC1843A. Output frequency is one half oscillator fre-
quency for the UC1844A and UC1845A.
Note 7:
“Temperature stability, sometimes referred to as average temperature coefficient, is described by the equation:

age measured over the appropriate temperature range. Note that the extremes in voltage do not necessarily occur at the extremes
in temperature.”
Note 8:
This parameter is measured with R

REF
.This contributes approximately 300 A of current to the measurement.
The total current flowing into the R

pin will be approximately 300
A higher than the measured value.
