Experiment 2 :Schmitt Trigger Circuit
Theory
Schmitt trigger circuit is used for voltage level detection, shaping of wave form and so on. As in fig.12-9, two transistors are connected by resistance division and emitter connection When the input, that is, the Tr1 base potential is low, Tr1 is OFF, Tr2 is ON and the emitter current of Tr2 flows to RE so the emitter potential of Tr1 increases and Tr1 is OFF. Also, the collector of Tr1 has high potential so the base current flows to Tr2 through Rk and Tr2 is ON and Tr1 is Off so Tr2 is in the stable state of ON.
Here, the input voltage slowly increases and when it exceeds (VBE = VE) and the base current of Tr1 starts to flow and the collector voltage starts to fall, the base current of Tr2 decreases and the emitter current decreases. Therefore, the emitter voltage of Tr1 starts to fall and the base current of Tr1 increases radically.
According to this positive feedback action, the state is reversed in a moment so Tr1 is ON, Tr2 is OFF. In this state, this time, the emitter potential of Tr1 is determined by Rk and emitter current of Tr1. Next, the input voltage falls and if it goes below this voltage, Tr1 is OFF and the opposite positive feedback is activated so the original state of Tr1-OFF, Tr2-ON is back.
If this state is described in input/output wave form, it is as fig.12-10. Here, the operation level becomes (VBE + REIE) so by making the load resistance of Tr1,Tr2 different and changing the emitter current, the operation level of reversion and that of restoration can be different, and this difference is called hysteresis voltage. Schmitt trigger circuit is used for detecting signals which reached certain setup level, changing certain wave form to square wave, or shaping distorted pulse.
