Schmitt trigger:

  • A Schmitt trigger is basically an inverting comparator circuit with positive feedback. 
  • The function of the Schmitt trigger is to convert any regular or irregular shaped input waveform into a square wave output voltage or pulse.
  • The circuit is named a "trigger" because the output retains its value until the input changes sufficiently to trigger a change.
  • Since the output of the Schmitt trigger is a square wave of amplitude ± Vsat, the output if given to a non-inverting integrator, will give a triangular wave.
  • The Triangular wave generator can be converted into a saw-tooth wave generator by injecting variable DC voltage into the non-inverting terminal of the integrator.

1. The Hartley Oscillator is a particularly useful circuit for producing good quality sine wave signals in the RF range (30kHz to 30MHz).

2. The Colpitts Oscillator is quite similar to the Hartley Oscillator and produces high-frequency sine waves in the RF range (100 kHz to 300 MHz). 

3. The Crystal oscillators can produce either sine wave or square wave outputs over a very wide range of frequencies, usually from one or two MHz up to several hundred MHz.
