TOSC CALCULATION of LT124x

See this calculation given in LT124x data sheet

Say, I need 10.5 use as Tosc. With max d as .9

So Td= .1* Tosc= 1.05 usec

We can also know RC from the charts. At 100kHz, R=30k, C=500pF, RC=15usec, Tr=8.75 usec... approx Td left is 1.25 usec...fair enough.

But,  from  Td to RC relationship,  one gets RC=145.74 usec 

This  is off by factor of 10!

If it is 14.575 , one is closer to reality.

Also, Dead time charts for LT1243  start from 50% yet the output frequency is equal  to oscillator freq unlike '42 whose output is half.

It is a bit confusing.

Appreciate some clarification.

-b

So what is the correct relationship?

I KNOW if R=9k, C=1000pf, it runs approx <200kHZ( we have a system running with this value)

thnx for clarification.
