Experiment 8 - The Inverting Schmitt-Trigger

In an inverting Schmitt-trigger, the voltage profile is inverted as compared to the non-inverting Schmitt trigger...

With the circuit shown you build an inverting Schmitt trigger...

Note: The feedback is no longer connected to the voltage divider (R1, R2), but to the input signal at the potentiometer P1! More on that later...

Inverting Schmitt-Trigger A Schmitt trigger, having the shown voltage profile, is referred to as an inverting Schmitt Trigger.
