In a Schmitt trigger inverter circuit, the two trip points are observed to occur at 1.8 and 2.8 V. At what input voltage levels will this device make (a) HIGH-to-LOW transition and (b) LOW-to-HIGH transition?
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (A) 2.8 V & 1.8 V
Explanation
In a Schmitt trigger inverter, the output goes HIGH to LOW when a rising input crosses the upper trip point, 2.8 V. It goes LOW to HIGH when a falling input crosses the lower trip point, 1.8 V.
