Applications of Zero Crossing Detector
Some of the Applications of Zero Crossing Detector
- It is mainly used for switching purpose in electronics circuits and in phase locked loop.
- It is used in frequency counters.
- It is used as phase meter for measuring the phase angles between two voltages applied at its terminals.
Zero Crossing Detector
A voltage comparator circuit whose output changes concerning the input signal which is crossing the zero of the reference voltage level that’s why it is called a Zero Crossing Detector. These circuits are commonly known as switching circuits the output of these circuits lies between positive and negative saturation voltage levels. The most commonly used circuits are the Schmitt trigger, Astable, and Monostable Multivibrators.
