Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around understanding hysteresis in circuits, specifically how to control its value. Participants explore general concepts of hysteresis and its application in circuit design, particularly with op-amp based circuits.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on the general concept of hysteresis and how to manipulate its value in circuits.
  • Another participant questions whether the inquiry pertains to specific types of hysteresis.
  • There is a suggestion to refer to a wiki for a general explanation of hysteresis.
  • A participant provides a straightforward suggestion to increase the resistor value to manipulate hysteresis.
  • Concerns are raised about the clarity and specificity of the original question, emphasizing the importance of well-phrased inquiries.
  • A later reply indicates that the participant has identified their circuit as op-amp based, thanking others for their input.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion reflects a lack of consensus on the specifics of hysteresis and how to control it in circuits. Some participants express frustration over the clarity of the initial question, while others provide suggestions without resolving the underlying inquiry.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed definitions of hysteresis and does not specify the type of circuit or application being referenced, which may limit the effectiveness of the responses.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in circuit design, particularly those looking to understand hysteresis and its manipulation in electronic components.

Hello,

I'm having some problem in understanding what is hysteresis. can someone explain it to me what is hysteresis, and how can i make the value big or small as i wish?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Are you asking generally about hysteresis? Or do you refer to any of it's specific types?
 
hysteresis in general. how about it?
 
Have you tried the wiki? It gives a nice explanation.
 
oh yeah I've tried. it's great. thanks. btw do you happen to know how can i change the value as i wish in circuit? like increase the resistor value or something like that?
 
If you want to increase the resistor value, use a resistor of higher value.
 
A question well phrased is half answered.
Please take the time to think your question through and state it clearly.

change the value as i wish in circuit?
What circuit ?

It's disrespectful to ask somebody to invest effort when you won't.
That's why you are getting dismissive answers.

Attitude is everything.
 
ah, I've got the solution. it's op-amp based circuit by the way. thank you, and sorry for the lack of information in my question.

I like that. Indeed, an astute description, Jim.
