Abstract
A graphical method for analyzing nonlinear circuits is developed. The method is applied to a common positive feedback example, and leads to a graph of the `voltage gain' of a Schmitt trigger circuit. The closed-form expressions for trip points and hysteresis are found and experimentally verified.
