A Simple Fully Controllable Schmitt Trigger with Electronic Method Using VDTA

Article Preview

Abstract:

A simple Schmitt trigger employing single VDTA (Voltage Difference Transconductance Amplifier) and one grounded resistor is proposed. The feature of the proposed Schmitt trigger is that its output hysteresis and amplitude can be independently adjusted. The PSpice simulation results are disclosed, it agrees well with the theoretical anticipation. The total power consumption approximately 443µW at ±1.5V supply voltages.
