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.
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.
This centered signal is connected to both the trigger and threshold input pins of the timer. The input signal must be strong enough to excite the trigger levels of the comparators to exceed the lower 1 ⁄ 3 V CC and upper 2 ⁄ 3 V CC thresholds in order to cause them to change state, thus providing the Schmitt trigger feature.

Breaker arm with contact points at the left. The pivot is on the right and the cam follower is in the middle of the breaker arm. A contact breaker (or "points") is a type of electrical switch, found in the ignition systems of spark-ignition internal combustion engines. The switch is automatically operated by a cam driven by the engine.
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 ...
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.
Regenerative detectors work well for narrow-band signals, especially for CW and SSB which need a heterodyne oscillator or BFO. A superregenerative detector does not have a usable heterodyne oscillator – even though the superregen always self-oscillates, so CW (Morse code)and SSB (single side band) signals can't be received properly.
If further trigger pulses do not affect the period, the circuit is a non-retriggerable multivibrator. For the circuit in Figure 2, in the stable state Q1 is turned off and Q2 is turned on. It is triggered by zero or negative input signal applied to Q2 base (with the same success it can be triggered by applying a positive input signal through a ...
