Schmitt Inverters and Waveform Signal Conditioning

Design, analyse, and experimentally characterise analogue sensing sub-systems utilising NTC thermistors, light-dependent resistors, photodiodes, and switches.

Analyse, balance, and design Wheatstone bridge networks for high-precision temperature and mechanical strain measurement.

Utilise Schmitt inverters to eliminate noise, debounce mechanical contacts, reshape noisy analogue signals, and build relaxation oscillators.

Implement slotted discs and encoded discs to measure rotational speed and angular position, comparing pure binary coding with Gray coding.

Design driver interfaces and protective circuitry for visual, audible, and electromechanical output devices including motors, solenoids, relays, servos, and displays.
