The schmitt trigger is an electronic comparator that has a slightly different voltage (or current) threshold for turning on than it does for turning off. This means that, once it turns on, it sticks on until the input signal decreases somewhat below the original turn-on point, and vice versa, once it turns off, it sticks off until the input signal increases somewhat above the original turn-off point. This is called hysteresis, and it effectively debounces the input signal and prevents short cycling.

What is the different between schmitt trigger and multi-vabrator?
A Schmitt trigger has an input and an output; the output is a squared-up version of the input.As long as the input is constant, the output of the Schmitt trigger is also constant.A multivibrator typically has no inputs (other than power), only an output: an oscillating signal.As long as it gets power, the output keeps oscillating hi-lo-hi-lo.A few multivibrators are built out of a Schmitt trigger and a few other components.It's not possible to build a Schmitt trigger out of a multivibrator.
Which circit is used as amplitude comparator?
Schmitt Trigger
What is the application of schmitt trigger?
Square wave generator
Schmitt trigger convert which wave form?
Schmitt trigger converts any type of waveform (such as sine,triangular.........)to square wave.So it is called Square wave converter.
What are the application of Schmitt trigger?
The application of Schmitt Trigger is as follows: 1.squaring circuit 2.sine-to-square comparater 3.amplitude comparater 4. as flip flops
What is Upper trigger point in schmitt trigger?
the point of input voltage at which Q1 begins to conduct
How does schmitt trigger differ from bistable multivibrator?
Schmitt trigger refers to an input hysteresis mechanism to improve the noise tolerance of a digital input, preventing glitch generation or false triggering on outputs. A bistable multivibrator is a flipflop, a device capable of storing one bit.
How schmitt trigger and square wave generator differ in their output waveform?
Yes,schmitt trigger has upper and lower threshold voltage for the reason of noise protection while square wave generator doesn't have these properties.
Is a 74ls48 hex schmitt trigger the same or similar enough to substitute for CD40106BCN hex schmitt trigger?
Certainly not. The 74LS48 is a BCD to 7 segment decoder, and the CD40106 is a hex schmitt trigger inverter. A 7 segment display is the type of numeric display that consists of seven bars that form an 8 when all of them are lit. The LS48 takes a 4 bit BCD word and figures out which bars to light up.
Explain how a square wave is produced from a sinwave?
Use a Schmitt trigger. You can buy one of these as an I.C.
What is meant by hysteresis voltage in schmitt trigger?
A schmitt trigger is a type of dual threshold voltage comparator, with the difference between the two thresholds being the hysteresis voltage. Only one of the two input thresholds is active at a time and it is controlled by the present binary state of the output of the schmitt trigger, making the circuit bistable. This allows the schmitt trigger to ignore small variations and/or noise in its larger input signal that would cause false outputs (glitches) in an ordinary single threshold voltage comparator as the input signal is crossing the threshold.Many digital logic ICs that are intended for use in noisy environments have schmitt trigger circuits built in on some or all of their inputs to increase their noise immunity. Schmitt triggers are also used in many analog sensing devices that produce digital outputs as a means of "filtering" spurious input signals from the real input signal.
Why does a Schmitt trigger circuit form a square wave at its output for any input wave?
A Schmitt trigger is a comparitor circuit that is basically an on-off switch. It's either on or off (which we call high or low). Once a threshold at the input is exceeded, it turns on, or goes high. Below the threshold, it turns off, or goes low. Drive a Schmitt trigger with whatever you want. It responds in only two ways; high or low. It has no other output states.
