Schmitt trigger

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005073

A comparator circuit with hysteresis, meaning it has different threshold voltages for rising and falling input signals. This characteristic prevents oscillations when the input signal is noisy or slowly changing, producing clean, square-wave outputs from irregular inputs. It is widely used in noise immunity applications.
