In a Schmitt trigger inverter circuit, the two trip points are observed to occur at 1.8 V and 2.8 V. At what input voltage levels will this device make (a) HIGH-to-LOW transition and (b) LOW-to-HIGH transition?

  1. A.

    2.8 V & 1.8 V

  2. B.

    3 V & 2 V

  3. C.

    4 V & 2.2 V

  4. D.

    2.6 V & 1.5 V

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

U.T.P. (Upper Trigger Point): Voltage at which output switches from HIGH to LOW. HIGH-to-LOW transition occurs at U.T.P. = 2.8 V.
