15.38 Consider the bistable circuit of Fig. 15.21(a) with the op amp’s positive input terminal connected to a positive-voltage source V through a resistor R3.
(a) Derive expressions for the threshold voltages VTL and VTH in terms of the op amp’s saturation levels L+ and L−, R1, R2, R3, and V.
(b) Let L+ = −L− = 5 V, V = 5 V, and R1 = 10 kΩ. Find the values of R2 and R3 that result in VTL = +1.9 V and VTH = +2.1 V
