Schmitt trigger
• Schmitt trigger belongs to a class of bistable
multivibrator circuits.
• In a bistable, there exist two D.C. couplings from
each output to input of the other.
• But in Schmitt trigger circuit, there exists only
one coupling.
• If in the emitter coupled bistable the feedback
network from the collector of transistor Q2 to the
base of transistor Q1 is removed , it becomes a
Schmitt trigger circuit.

Working
Let us suppose that initially there is no signal at the input.
• Then as soon as the power supply VCC is switched on,
the transistor Q2 starts conducting.
• The flow of its current through resistor RE produces a
voltage drop across it.
• This voltage drop acts as a reverse bias across the
emitter junction of transistor Q1 due to which it cuts-off.
• As a result of this, the voltage at its collector rises to VCC.
• This rising voltage is coupled to the base of transistor Q2
through the resistor R1.
• It increases the forward bias at the base of transistor Q2
and therefore drives it into saturation and holds it there.
• At this instant, the collector voltage, level are VC1 = VCC
and VC2 = VCE(sat)

Asymmetrical triggering
In asymmetrical triggering, there are two trigger
inputs for the transistors Q1 and Q2.
Each trigger input is derived from a separate
triggering source.
To induce transition among the stable states,
initially the trigger is applied to the bistable.
For the next transition, now the identical trigger
must appear at the transistor Q2.
Thus it can be said that in asymmetrical
triggering, trigger pulses derived from two
separate source and connected to the two
transistors Q1 and Q2 individually, sequentially
change the state of the bistable.
