4. Schmitt trigger
 Schmitt trigger is basically a “comparator”.
 In comparator no feedback is being used.
 When comparator used positive feedback is known as
“Schmitt trigger”.

5. Types of Schmitt trigger
1. Inverting Schmitt trigger.
2. Non- Inverting Schmitt trigger.

6. Two different triggering voltage are
define for Schmitt trigger
 Upper threshold voltage (V ut)
 Lower threshold voltage (V lt )

Use of feedback Feedback is not used Positive feedback is used
Trigger Level At zero volt or at the Vref. The upper and lower level
trigger have distinct values.
Output voltage The output voltage can be
+Vsat or –Vsat.
The output voltage can be
