What it shows

  • Positive feedback introduces two distinct switching thresholds.
  • The voltage gap (hysteresis) must exceed input noise amplitude.
  • Outputs switch decisively without erratic edge oscillation.

The takeaway

Hysteresis turns noisy analog slopes into clean, unambiguous digital transitions.
