09 Inverting Schmitt Trigger

This document describes an experiment that demonstrates the operation of an inverting Schmitt trigger. The experiment shows the relationship between the input and output voltages and how adjusting potentiometers P2 and P3 changes the switching thresholds. P3 controls the hysteresis and P2 controls the reference voltage. An inverting Schmitt trigger can be useful in applications that require noise immunity where a signal must pass a high and low threshold.

9. Change the switching hysteresis with P3 and observe the oscilloscope display. Using P3, set the hysteresis so that the upper switching threshold of the Schmitt trigger is roughly +6V. 10. Using the oscilloscope, measure the output voltage V as a function of the input voltage V and transfer the oscillogram A E to the adjacent field. Also, enter the oscilloscope settings in the corresponding fields.
