In a Non-Inverting Schmitt Trigger, Find the Vref, Vutp, Vltp.
VS = 10 V, R1 = 20 kΩ and R2=100 kΩ
To find the reference voltage (Vref) of a non-inverting Schmitt trigger, we can use the voltage divider formula.
Vref = VS * (R2 / (R1 + R2))
Plugging in the given values:
Vref = 10 V * (100 kΩ / (20 kΩ + 100 kΩ))
Vref = 10 V * (100 kΩ / 120 kΩ)
Vref = 10 V * 0.833
Vref = 8.33 V
Now, to find the upper threshold voltage (Vutp), we need to consider that the upper threshold voltage is equal to the reference voltage plus half the voltage difference between the positive and negative saturation voltages of the op-amp. Assuming the op-amp has a rail-to-rail output, the saturation voltages are approximately equal to the supply voltage (VS).
Vutp = Vref + (VS - Vref) / 2
Vutp = 8.33 V + (10 V - 8.33 V) / 2
Vutp = 8.33 V + 1.67 V / 2
Vutp = 8.33 V + 0.835 V
Vutp = 9.16 V
Finally, to find the lower threshold voltage (Vltp), we need to consider that the lower threshold voltage is equal to the reference voltage minus half the voltage difference between the positive and negative saturation voltages of the op-amp.
Vltp = Vref - (VS - Vref) / 2
Vltp = 8.33 V - (10 V - 8.33 V) / 2
Vltp = 8.33 V - 1.67 V / 2
Vltp = 8.33 V - 0.835 V
Vltp = 7.50 V
Therefore, in the given non-inverting Schmitt trigger circuit with a supply voltage (VS) of 10 V, resistor values of R1 = 20 kΩ and R2 = 100 kΩ, the reference voltage (Vref) is approximately 8.33 V, the upper threshold voltage (Vutp) is approximately 9.16 V, and the lower threshold voltage (Vltp) is approximately 7.50 V.
My answer book says
Vutp = 2v
Vltp = -2v
Apologies for the confusion. Let's re-calculate the upper threshold voltage (Vutp) and lower threshold voltage (Vltp) using the correct formulas:
Vref = VS * (R2 / (R1 + R2))
Vref = 10 V * (100 kΩ / (20 kΩ + 100 kΩ))
Vref = 10 V * (100 kΩ / 120 kΩ)
Vref = 10 V * 0.833
Vref = 8.33 V
Vutp = Vref + (VS - Vref) / 2
Vutp = 8.33 V + (10 V - 8.33 V) / 2
Vutp = 8.33 V + 1.67 V / 2
Vutp = 8.33 V + 0.835 V
Vutp = 9.165 V ≈ 9.17 V
Vltp = Vref - (VS - Vref) / 2
Vltp = 8.33 V - (10 V - 8.33 V) / 2
Vltp = 8.33 V - 1.67 V / 2
Vltp = 8.33 V - 0.835 V
Vltp = 7.495 V ≈ 7.50 V
Therefore, the correct values for the upper threshold voltage (Vutp) and lower threshold voltage (Vltp) in this non-inverting Schmitt trigger circuit are Vutp = 9.17 V and Vltp = 7.50 V, respectively.
my teacher used Vutp = (R1/R2)Vs + (1 +(R1/R2))Vref
and Vltp = - (R1/R2)Vs + (1 +(R1/R2))Vref.
I apologize for the confusion. Let's use the formulas provided by your teacher to calculate the upper threshold voltage (Vutp) and lower threshold voltage (Vltp):
Vutp = (R1/R2) * VS + (1 + (R1/R2)) * Vref
Vltp = - (R1/R2) * VS + (1 + (R1/R2)) * Vref
Given values:
VS = 10 V, R1 = 20 kΩ, R2 = 100 kΩ, and Vref = 8.33 V
Let's calculate Vutp first:
Vutp = (20 kΩ / 100 kΩ) * 10 V + (1 + (20 kΩ / 100 kΩ)) * 8.33 V
Vutp = (0.2) * 10 V + (1 + 0.2) * 8.33 V
Vutp = 2 V + 1.2 * 8.33 V
Vutp = 2 V + 9.996 V
Vutp ≈ 11.996 V ≈ 12 V (rounded)
Now, let's calculate Vltp:
Vltp = - (20 kΩ / 100 kΩ) * 10 V + (1 + (20 kΩ / 100 kΩ)) * 8.33 V
Vltp = - (0.2) * 10 V + (1 + 0.2) * 8.33 V
Vltp = -2 V + 1.2 * 8.33 V
Vltp = -2 V + 9.996 V
Vltp ≈ 7.996 V ≈ 8 V (rounded)
Therefore, using the formulas provided by your teacher, the upper threshold voltage (Vutp) is approximately 12 V, and the lower threshold voltage (Vltp) is approximately 8 V in this non-inverting Schmitt trigger circuit.
my teacher used Vutp = (R1/R2)Vs + (1 +(R1/R2))Vref
and Vltp = - (R1/R2)Vs + (1 +(R1/R2))Vref and My teacher says Vutp = 2v and Vltp = -2v.
