  2. Schmitt trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger

    The Schmitt trigger was invented by American scientist Otto H. Schmitt in 1934 while he was a graduate student, [1] later described in his doctoral dissertation (1937) as a thermionic trigger. [2] It was a direct result of Schmitt's study of the neural impulse propagation in squid nerves.

  3. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    One of the issues with using an RC network to generate a PoR pulse is the sensitivity of the R and C values to the power-supply ramp characteristics. When the power supply ramp is rapid, the R and C values can be calculated so that the time to reach the switching threshold of the Schmitt trigger is enough to apply a long enough reset pulse.

    A Triggering device is an electronic circuit, such as a Schmitt trigger, which is used to control another electronic circuit. Uses In many of industrial operations ...

  5. Hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis

    Sharp hysteresis loop of a Schmitt trigger. Often, some amount of hysteresis is intentionally added to an electronic circuit to prevent unwanted rapid switching. This and similar techniques are used to compensate for contact bounce in switches, or noise in an electrical signal. A Schmitt trigger is a simple electronic circuit that exhibits this ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC

    Trigger comparator: The comparator's positive input is connected to voltage divider's lower reference, and the comparator's negative input is connected to TRIGGER. Latch: A set-reset latch stores the state of the timer and is controlled by the two comparators. RESET overrides the other two inputs, thus the latch (and therefore the entire timer ...

  8. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    Schmitt trigger filtering may be applied (or integrated into the IC) to provide a clean digital output that is robust against sensor noise. The hysteresis thresholds for switching (specified as B OP and B RP ) categorize digital Hall ICs as either unipolar switches, [ 9 ] omnipolar switches, [ 10 ] or bipolar switches, [ 11 ] which may ...

  9. Regenerative circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_circuit

    One example is the Schmitt trigger (which is also known as a regenerative comparator), but the most common use of the term is in RF amplifiers, and especially regenerative receivers, to greatly increase the gain of a single amplifier stage. [4] [5] [6]
