ABSTRACT:
A Schmitt trigger (30) operates at low power and low frequency and can be implemented in a small amount of surface area on an integrated circuit. Specifically, the Schmitt trigger (30) includes transistors (34, 40) that are implemented as long channel devices and operate in a linear region for providing resistive elements, and another pair of transistors (44, 46) that function as non-linear devices allowing a current through the Schmitt trigger (30) to provide both a reference and the switchpoints for the Schmitt trigger (30). These transistors also establish low current through the Schmitt trigger (30).
