Schmitt-trigger buffer
A non-inverting digital element with separate rising and falling input thresholds.
Schematic · SCHMITT
What it represents
A non-inverting digital element with separate rising and falling input thresholds.
On a schematic, identify the input signal and manufacturer hysteresis/threshold definition and trace the non-inverted digital output. Keep the component tag and signal/reference names consistent across the control drawing, terminal schedule and device documentation.
A Schmitt buffer preserves logical polarity, unlike a Schmitt-trigger inverter.
Terminal letters describe electrical roles, not package pin numbers. Check the selected public datasheet for the actual pin assignment, polarity and any internally connected terminals before completing the drawing.
How to read it
- Identify the input signal and manufacturer hysteresis/threshold definition.
- Trace the non-inverted digital output.
Information to show or reference
- Label the input signal and manufacturer hysteresis/threshold definition.
- Cross-reference the non-inverted digital output.
- Add the selected device or circuit documentation revision, power/reference connections and project signal convention.
A distinction that matters
A Schmitt buffer preserves logical polarity, unlike a Schmitt-trigger inverter.
