(Ex.) When 3 pulses enter in succession within an interval 

of 2 seconds, a pulse with a width of 10 ms is output 

as the signal output.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND SENSITIVITY

Figure 9 shows a typical relation between the supply voltage and the UVTRON sensitivity. The UVTRON is more 

sensitive as the supply voltage is increased, but this also increases the background noise. Keep the supply voltage within 
the recommended range.
