Schmitt trigger issue

Not sure what you are looking at. When the start button is pressed it would short IC3 pin 4 to ground until the button is released. That's not good. Of course the signal will propagate through the RS FF and pin

4 will not continually pull high, but if the output is blown it won't matter.

None of this matters anyway, the foot switch jack does not short the pins you seem to think are shorted. The output of IC3 pin 4 is never connected to the start switch or the foot switch. The long triangle is showing an insulated contact that simply controls the isolated switch as shown in the reference I gave.

bit of

leeve, a movable plug tip contact (the notched piece), and an internal SPDT switch between terminals 8, 7- and why they don't number the friggin pole I don't know! The bent piece on terminal 7 is meant to show a NC connection with the pole with the plug out of the jack, and it clearly shows the inte rnal pole is connected to tip (6) with the plug out of the jack. With the p lug out of the jack, the operation of the START and STOP switches runs the show, turning the clock oscillator on and off and some other stuff. With th e plug in the jack the FOOT SW runs the show, the TIP to internal SPDT pole connection is broken as is 7 to internal switch pole. This prevents the ST ART and STOP switches from latching the FF and it also gives the FOOT SW co mplete control over gating the clock oscillator, turning it on when FOOT cl oses and turning it off when it opens.

y to interpret the schematic and I told you what it is. How difficult is it to understand that 1) with plug removed, circuit operation is push on/ pus h off thru START/STOP switches and 2) when plug is inserted into jack, circ uit is ON (MOMENTARY)/OFF through the FOOT SW ( a SPST to shield GND).

ip and show the pole contact making NC contact with the bottom throw by ben ding the pole contact and not the throw contact. The reason they bent the t hrow contact is because they want that pole connection horizontal and makin g contact with the TIP, the usual schematic for a phone plug type jack.

h multiple isolated switches. All you need to know is that whatever switch position is shown with plug removed, the jack only schematic, all of that g ets flipped when the plug is inserted: what was open gets closed and vice v ersa, the double throws get flipped, the NCs go open and the NOs go closed, etc....

for 2 x Tpd until it latches logic low thru the FF preventing C45 from re- charging. The IC is a 4011UB, output is safely current limited.

You don't know anything about 4000 series CMOS.
