When a sinusoidal voltage wave drives a Schmitt Trigger, the output is a: Correct Answer Rectangular wave

Schmitt Trigger:

  • It is a comparator circuit with positive feedback.
  • It is a Bi-stable circuit, having two stable states (+Vsat and -Vsat).
  • In this, the input sine-wave is converted to an ​asymmetrical square wave or rectangular wave. 
  • The output voltage changes its states whenever the input voltage exceeds certain voltage levels (i.e. VUT & VLT)
