Facets:
value: to implement hysteresis
type: PURPOSE
Source sentences:
text: A Schmitt trigger is a comparator (not exclusively) circuit that makes use of positive feedback (small changes in the input lead to large changes in the output in the same phase) to implement hysteresis (a fancy word for delayed action) and is used to remove noise from an analog signal while converting it to a digital one.
text: A Schmitt trigger makes use of positive feedback – it takes a sample of the output and feeds it back into the input so as to ‘reinforce’, so to speak, the output – which is the exact opposite to negative feedback, which tries to nullify any changes to the output.
