AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving problems related to Schmitt Trigger circuits and op-amps, specifically problems 2 and 3 from an attached PDF. The original poster expresses frustration over a lack of helpful responses in previous discussions about op-amps and seeks constructive feedback on resistor values and the significance of output and sink currents. They describe a Schmitt Trigger configuration with specific connections and feedback mechanisms. The poster emphasizes the importance of not expecting others to do their homework and references past interactions for context. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges of engaging with complex electronic concepts in a forum setting.

Who has the guts to do the problems given in the attached pdf file?

I would like the folks competent to solve them to do Prb. 2 and 3.

Thanks!

P.S. few weeks ago I had posted a file related to Op-amps but no fruitful help was gotten from this forum, eventhough I am posting this file.

Hoping I get some good suggestions on these problems.

Well anyways, here's what I've thought

In a general Schmitt Trigger figure:

No resistor between Vin and the inverting input.
It has a positive feedback along with a resistor R_3,
The non-inverting input has constant 5VDC input which is V_ref, there is a resistor R_2 between V_ref souce and the non-inverting input.
non-inverting input is also connected to the ground along with the resistor R_1.

As in the fig. in the attached file of schmitt trigger...


Now, V+ depends on V_out. When V_in < V_ref then V_out switches to V+saturation otherwise V-saturation.

and V+(>) - V+(<) = (2 R_123 / 3)
( R_123 eq. of all the 3 resistors)

The thing is what values of resistors shall I use?
and what's the use of output current and the sink current?

You can't have people do your homework for you! Go back to your teacher!
 
if u can't post anything worthwhile then don't b.s. atleast.
 
It *seems* like I am posting way too "advanced" stuff in here.

Logicalman, in your previous opamp thread, I *had* solved one of the problems for you. You didn't post whether you agreed, or even whether it was helpful.

Remember this thread ? https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=62098

I did the same thing written in that post of yours except the way of finding input impedance.

Anyways, for the problems I've posted over here - I already did them.
