When a sinusoidal voltage wave drives a Schmitt Trigger, the output is a
- A. Triangular wave
- B. Rectified sine wave
- C. Rectangular wave
- D. Trapezoidal wave
Answer: C. Rectangular wave
Explanation: A Schmitt trigger is a regenerative comparator. When driven by an analog signal such as a sinusoidal wave, it triggers at defined upper and lower threshold levels, converting the input into a rectangular (or square) wave at the output.
