LM3909 Datasheet (National Semiconductor) - LM3909 LED Flasher/Oscillator

LM3909, LM3909 LED Flasher/Oscillator

The LM3909 is a monolithic oscillator specifically designed to flash Light Emitting Diodes By using the timing capacitor for voltage boost it delivers pulses of 2 or more volts to the LED while operating on a supply of 1 5V or less The circuit is inherently self-starting and requires addition of onl
