Operation notes (1) Do not use values other than CT = 0.022µF for the timing capacitor, and C1 = 10µF for the output capacitor. (2) For the output capacitor C1, use a tantalum capacitor with low capacitance variation with temperature, and a static capacitance tolerance of ±10% or less. (3) For the timing capacitor CT, use a film capacitor with low capacitance variation with temperature, a static capaci- tance tolerance of ±10% or less, and a temperature variation rate of ±2% or less.
