Subject: [alt-beam] Schmitt Triggers


Is the Motorola MC34164-3 Micro power Undervoltage Sensing Circuit just a
schmitt trigger on a chip????

I dunno, just heard about them, seems they might be more versatile for a
sensing circuit as you can get an adjustable under and over voltage binary
output (eg: <5volts - Low and >5 volts High) with an adjustable output
voltage.

Could require a few calculations to set up the correct values for the
resistors etc. but I think there are a few calculator programs out there.



Just a thought
