Figure 19 shows the three most important voltages of the application example.
The load was a 3.3 k

 resistor. Normally a resistor up to 10 

 can be used, which

causes a current flow of 500 mA. For the measurement , a function generator with
a limited output current was used to generate the shape of input voltage.
Therefore the output current was limited to 1.5 mA with the 3.3 k

 resistor .
