Schmitt trigger:
A Schmitt trigger has one input voltage and one output voltage. The output can be either
high or low. When the input is below a certain threshold, the output is high; when the
input is above a certain (higher) threshold, the output is low; and when the input is
between the two thresholds, the output retains its value. The trigger is so named because
the output retains its value until the input changes sufficiently to trigger a change. This
delayed action is called hysteresis, and implies that the Schmitt trigger has some
memory.
Schmitt trigger
CMOS SPDT switch:
This switch provides low power dissipation yet gives high switching speed, low on
resistance, low leakage currents and -3 dB bandwidths of greater than 200 MHz can be
achieved. The main specifications for a CMOS SPDT switch are given as follows.
Integrator:
(Where Vin and Vout are functions of time, Vinitial is the output voltage of the integrator at
time t = 0.)
Buffer:
A Buffer amplifier (sometimes simply called a buffer) is one that provides impedance
transformation from high to low between one circuit and another.
Typically a buffer amplifier is used to transfer a voltage from a first circuit, having a high
impedance level, to a second circuit with a lower impedance level. The interposed buffer
amplifier prevents the second circuit from loading the first circuit unacceptably and
interfering with its desired operation.
If the voltage is transferred unchanged, the amplifier is a unity gain buffer; also known
as a voltage follower.
The input to the circuit is a sine wave which is given to the Schmitt trigger.
Applications:
Function generators
The production of electronic music, to generate variable tones,
Phase-locked loops
Frequency synthesizers used in communication equipment.
Converting low frequency signals such as electrocardiograms (EKG) and
electroencephalograms (EEG) into an audio- frequency range.
