Comparator & Schmitt Trigger Calculator

Calculate switching thresholds and hysteresis, or choose standard feedback resistors.

Your inputs

Design for target thresholds

R1 stays fixed; Rf uses the selected series. Vref is adjusted to preserve the threshold midpoint.

Ideal push-pull model with specified output voltages. Check comparator input range, offset and resistor tolerances; internal hysteresis is excluded.
