Abstract :
The authors give the means for setting up the relevant semistate equations of a four-transistor CMOS Schmitt trigger under development for VLSI realization. By parametrically solving the nondynamic portions of the semistate equations, one can see the physical basis through which the hysteresis results. The technique is illustrated with SPICE runs
