Op-Amp as Zero Crossing Detector

  • The basic non-inverting comparator can be used as a zero crossing detector
  • This circuit tells wether the input siganl is greater than or less than zero and indicates the zero crossing points of the input
  • A typical circuit for such a detector
  • It is a non-inverting comparator circuit with Vref=0V.
  • During the positive half cycle, the input voltage is positive i.e above the reference voltage. Hence voltage is +Vsat
  • During negative half cycle, the input Vin is negative, i.e below the references voltage. The output voltage is than -Vsat.
  • Thus the output voltage switches between +Vsat and -Vsat whenever the input signal crosses the zero level. Thus the output indicates the zero crossing of the input by changing the state of the output
  • waveforms
  • we realize that zero crossing detector can be used as a sine to square wave converter

Miller Crystal Oscillator Miller Crystal Oscillator Similar to modifications in Colpitt's oscillator, the Hartley oscillator circuit can be modified, to get Miller crystal Oscillator In Hartley oscillator circuit, two inductors and one capacitor is required in the tank circuit. One inductor is replaced by the crystal which acts as an inductor for the frequencies slightly greater then the series resonant frequency. The tuned circuit of L1 and C is offtuned to behave as an inductor i.e. L1. The crystal behaves as other inductance L2 between base and ground. the Internal capacitance of the transistor acts as a capacitor required to fullfill the elements of the tank circuit The crystal decides the operating frequency of the oscillator.

Electronic oscillator division types and use Electronic oscillator division types and use Introduction to oscillator An oscillator is a amplifier and it is a close loop circuit or network. It uses the Positive feedback. It is not require the externel signel and generate the a desired frequency A oscillatpr acts like generator, It oscillates the constant amplitude and frequency. Oscillator can generate the frequency upto gigahertz. Classification of the Oscillators Oscillators are classified based on the type of waveforms generate from the oscillator, range, frequency, parameters used. Based on Output waveforms. Based on circuit components. Range of operating frequency. Based on feedback uses or not uses Types of oscillatprs LC Oscillator Har...
