High peak currents associated with capacitive loads

necessitate careful grounding techniques. Timing

and bypass capacitors should be connected close

to pin 5 in a single point ground. The transistor and

5 K

Ω potentiometer are used to sample the oscillator

waveform and apply an adjustable ramp to pin 3.
