  2. Schmitt trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger

    T and − T are the switching thresholds, and M and − M are the output voltage levels. In electronics, a Schmitt trigger is a comparator circuit with hysteresis implemented by applying positive feedback to the noninverting input of a comparator or differential amplifier. It is an active circuit which converts an analog input signal to a ...

  3. Relaxation oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relaxation_oscillator

    Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger 's output voltage through a RC network to its input. In electronics, a relaxation oscillator is a nonlinear electronic oscillator circuit that produces a nonsinusoidal repetitive output signal, such as a triangle wave or square wave. [1][2][3][4] The circuit consists ...

  4. Triggering device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triggering_device

    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 ...

  6. Power-on reset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_reset

    A simple PoR uses the charging of a capacitor, in series with a resistor, to measure a time period during which the rest of the circuit is held in a reset state. A Schmitt trigger may be used to deassert the reset signal cleanly, once the rising voltage of the RC network passes the threshold voltage of the Schmitt trigger. The resistor and ...

  7. 555 timer IC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC

    Electronic symbol. Internal block diagram [1] The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. It is one of the most popular timing ICs due to its flexibility and price. Derivatives provide two (556) or four (558) timing circuits in one package. [2]

  8. Comparator applications - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparator_applications

    Comparator applications. A comparator is an electronic component that compares two input voltages. Comparators are closely related to operational amplifiers, but a comparator is designed to operate with positive feedback and with its output saturated at one power rail or the other. If necessary, an op-amp can be pressed into service as a poorly ...

  9. Electronic oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_oscillator

    Electronic oscillator. Simple relaxation oscillator made by feeding back an inverting Schmitt trigger 's output voltage through a RC network to its input. An electronic oscillator is an electronic circuit that produces a periodic, oscillating or alternating current (AC) signal, usually a sine wave, square wave or a triangle wave, [1][2][3 ...
