In 1938, the Journal of Scientific Instruments published details of a comparator circuit that converted a slowly varying input signal into an abrupt change in output voltage. Based on cross-coupled ...

In this Design Idea, we look at how electromechanical relays display hysteresis behavior that is surprisingly similar to the solid-state Schmitt trigger circuits, and how they can be used for many ...

The circuit in Figure 1 is a single-supply version of a programmable Schmitt trigger, or a comparator with hysteresis. A comparator, A1, and a digitally programmable potentiometer (DPP1) are used for ...
