Schmitt trigger

The Schmitt trigger is, to some extent, a latching circuit.

A Schmitt trigger is a simple electronic circuit that also exhibits this property.

A practical Schmitt trigger with precise thresholds is shown in the figure on the right.

That filtered output passes to the input of a Schmitt trigger.

Suppose the output of the Schmitt trigger inverter is initially high.

A number of 4000 series devices include a Schmitt trigger on inputs, for example:

An important application of it is the comparator with hysteresis, the Schmitt trigger.

Here, a comparator-based Schmitt trigger is used in its inverting configuration.

In electronics, a Schmitt trigger is a circuit with positive feedback and a loop gain greater than 1.

The positive feedback is a Schmitt trigger configuration.

One application of a Schmitt trigger is to increase the noise immunity in a circuit with only a single input threshold.

Schmitt trigger - The circuit on which the comparator-based relaxation oscillator is based.

This signal is then amplified through a few more transistors and the result fed into a Schmitt trigger.

A circuit that implements this form of hysteretic switching is known as a Schmitt trigger.

If the Schmitt trigger is currently in the high state, the output will be at the positive power supply rail (+V).

He developed the Schmitt trigger while attempting to replicate the biological system of nerve propagation.

The resulting Schmitt trigger circuit gives additional noise immunity and a cleaner output signal.

Schmitt triggers are commonly implemented using an operational amplifier or the more dedicated comparator.

Signal inputs must be Schmitt trigger.

This dual threshold action is called 'hysteresis', and implies that the Schmitt trigger has some memory (disambiguation).

The following 7400 series devices include a Schmitt trigger on their input or on each of their inputs:

Schmitt trigger is an electronic device which can moderate analog signals values only to zero ore one (0 / 1).

The emitter-coupled Schmitt trigger has not low enough level at output logical zero and needs an additional output shifting circuit.

Schmitt triggers are common in many switching circuits for similar reasons (e.g., for switch debouncing).

Application of positive feedback to the comparator as shown in figure 10.14(b) creates a regenerative switch with hysteresis called the Schmitt trigger.
