The dual slope sampling SE is the first SE of it`s kind which samples the voltage comparator input voltage during charging AND during discharging. If the Power Smart Head is in standby, the storage capacitor will likely remain fully charged provided the <1mA supply current is available from the solar cell. The DS SE uses about the same number of components for the SE part as the ALF circuit but the circuit performance is improved several ways.A bicore circuit was used for the oscilator to set the sample period and pulse width. This grounded bicore can control the pulse duty cycle by switching the reference voltage to the timing resistors from positive to Vcc to change the pulse output from visit page.
