Abstract :
A waveform-reshaping circuit that is conceived as an alternative to the conventional Schmitt trigger is introduced. This circuit employs ratioless inverters, which require no standby current and are for high-speed operations. Two different logic threshold voltages of the CMOS inverters in the circuit determine the hysteresis characteristics
