 The fact that the positive feedback applied within the circuit ensures that there is effectively a higher gain and therefore the switching is faster. This is particularly useful when the input waveform may be slow. However a speed up capacitor can be applied within the Schmitt trigger circuit to increase the switching speed still further. By placing a capacitor across the positive feedback resistor R<sub>3</sub>, the gain can be increased during the changeover, making the switching even faster. This capacitor, known as a speed up capacitor may be anywhere between 10 pF and 100 pF dependent upon the circuit. The fact that the positive feedback applied within the circuit ensures that there is effectively a higher gain and therefore the switching is faster.
