Make your own non-inverting Schmitt Trigger

[Adventure_Audio]

Hey There,

I am brand new to this forum and already love it. 2 mins ago I googled electronics forum and here I am!

Please excuse my excitement. I have a question regarding schmitt triggers, more specifically the 74HC7014
(http://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/74HC7014.pdf)

The circuit I am replicating only calls for one Schmitt trigger so I do not want to use a whole hex IC. Refer to this thread for the circuit topic (http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=108591.0)

Here is the actual schematic I will be breadboarding. As you can see in the top left corner there is the 74HC7014.

MY QUESTION IS: How can I create a precision schmitt trigger using an op amp?

According to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger), I can but am unsure how to go about doing this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

You can make a Schmitt trigger from an op amp or comparator by utilizing positive feedback. Here is an example (scroll down to get to it)

Or, you could use one of these... TC7SET17FTE85LF or TC7SET17FU,LF. Single gate Schmitt triggers.
