  1. For the circuit shown below,

    the CORRECT transfer characteristic is



Correct Option: D

Redrawing the first stage,

Assuming ideal OPAMP’s

V- = V+ =
V2
2

V+ =
V2 R
=
V2
R + R2

Using KCL at inverting terminal, we get
V1 - V-
=
V- - V01
RR

⇒ V01 = 2V – V1 = V2 – V1
= – Vi [as V1 – V2 = Vi]
For the second-stage schmitt-trigger.

For V01 < V+ or Vi > V+, V0 = 12 Volts
v+ =
R
VR +
R
V0 ≡ V1
R + RR + R

As VR = 0 [VR is grounded]
v+ =
V0
≡ V1 .......(A)
2

For v01 > v+
or vi < v+ , v0 = – 12 volts
The voltage at the non-inverting terminal is,
v+ =
R VR
-
R
V0 ≡ V2
R + RR + R

v+ = -
V0
≡ V2
