Abstract
This paper presents a current-mode Schmitt trigger circuit capable of independently adjusting the upper and lower hysteresis thresholds electronically using commercial ICs (LT1228s and AD844s). The proposed Schmitt trigger simultaneously generates both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) functions without requiring modifications to the circuit structure. The circuit’s performance is validated through simulations and practical experiments with a ± 9 V power supply. Additionally, the triangular and square wave generator applications demonstrate the versatility and practicality of the proposed Schmitt trigger. Furthermore, the temperature does not affect the amplitude adjustment and the threshold currents, as confirmed by PSpice simulations.
期刊介绍:
AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
