Hi all,
I am using a cd4093 as a gated astable oscillator and am encountering the expected issue that the first oscillation is longer than the subsequent oscillations because the timing cap has to charge from 0V, initially. I ran across this solution from Sgt. Wookie re: the same issue for a 555 and tried this on my oscillator (divided my 100uF timing cap into three 33uF, one of which is connected to +V). This gave me the full 99 uF of timing needed but the initial delay was still there. Is a different solution required for the 4093?
Thanks!
Kevin
