First, create an equation for V
T
that covers both output voltages when the output is high or low.
Equation 1. Equation 2. The hysteresis voltage in this
network is equal to the difference in the two threshold voltage
equations.
Equation 3. Equation 4. Equation 5. Equation 6. Note that these equations do not take
into account the effects of the internal hysteresis and offset voltage of the
comparator. Design parameters need to be adjusted accordingly. Select a value for R2. Plug in given
values for V
REF, V
T1, V
T2, Q, and
Q, and solve for R1. For the given example, R2 = 50kΩ, and R1
is solved as =
8.3kΩ.
