AW: [AVR club] Triggered Inputs? - Rompf Tobias ZFS MKK - Sep 15 10:29:00 2004

Hmmm, I thought it was an english word?!? In German we use "Trigger" for:

For example a "trigger" gets an signal from 0 to 7 V,
if the Input-Signal is under (e.g.) 4V the Output-Signal stays at 0V,
if the Input-Signal is above 4V the Output-Voltage is 5V

What's the english word for that?

What do you mean by "trigger"?

The input pins are schmidt triggered but I don't think atmel gives much info other than the guaranteed thresholds in the data sheets.

I wasn't sure if you meant the input voltage threshold, or wether the pins could trigger an interrupt, or trigger a timer.. It's ambiguous.

"Trigger" can be a noun or a verb.
Interrupts can be triggered by voltage input changes.
A more specific term is "comparator" (Komparatoren in german). Searching the datasheet on
both terms should give plenty of useage examples.

Thanks everyone a lot for the hints.

I don't know if these questions were fully answered or not, so I will
have a go.

I assume you're asking first if the ATmega128 has schmitt trigger
inputs. I have checked the ATmega64 data sheet, because that's all I
have with me, and it shows a schmitt trigger in the circuit diagram
of the "General Digital I/O" ports. The only mention of a hysteresis
value is in the electrical characteristics of the two-wire serial
bus. It is given as 5% of VCC, which isn't very much. You should
check the ATmega128 data sheet.

When you say you want to use input voltages of 5 to 30 volts, I don't
know what this has to do with schmitt trigger inputs. You can't do
this, schmitt trigger or not. The Absolute Maximum Ratings section of
the data sheet gives the voltage on I/O pins with respect to ground
as no lower than -1.0 volts and no higher than VCC + 0.5 volts. This
is because there are static protection diodes on the inputs. You will
need an external level translator.
