In this Design Idea (DI), the classic Schmitt-trigger-based RC oscillator is “hacked” and analyzed using the simulation software QSPICE. You might reasonably ask why one would do this, given that ...

The 74AHC14 and 74AHCT14 are Hex inverting Schmitt triggers that offers six inverting buffers with Schmitt-trigger action. These high-speed Si-gate CMOS devices are pin compatible with Low-power ...

It has become a bit of a running joke in the Hackaday community to suggest that a project could or should have been done with a 555 timer. [Tim] has rather taken this to heart with his latest ...

The circuit in Figure 1 is a single-supply version of a programmable Schmitt trigger, or a comparator with hysteresis. A comparator, A1, and a digitally programmable potentiometer (DPP1) are used for ...
