Topic 2 - Schmitt and Window Comparator

This document discusses operational amplifiers (op-amps) and Schmitt triggers. It provides equations to calculate the hysteresis voltages and positive and negative saturation voltages of a Schmitt trigger. An example calculation is shown for a given Schmitt trigger with specified hysteresis, positive saturation, and negative saturation voltages. Finally, an equivalent circuit diagram of a Schmitt trigger is displayed.

Given:

Vsat+ = +12V Vut = +5V


Vsat- = -12V Vlt = -5V

Solution:

1 Vsat  Vhysterysis = +5V – (-5V) = 10V


Vut 1  V2 (  1)  ;
