zero cross detector that produce 0V to 5V output

voltage detector

Hi everyone !

Im looking for a zero voltage detector, a circuit that make a pulse every time that the line voltage (230V, 60Hz) cross the zero voltage.

It will be used to fire a thiristor or a IGBT.

Any suggestion ??

Regards

MOC?

zero volt detector

u have ready made packages that do what you want..........

else you do with opto coupler and PIC say,

Re: Zero voltage detector

You can use comparator with zero referance on non inv pin & feed your rectified AC on the inv pin(With proper attenuation) to get ZC pulses on the output.

To be a zero reference comparator the input will have to have pmos devices, correct?

What is ZC pulses?

Hi

See microchip site for X10 application note - you will find there A zero crossing detector as a part of X10 application

All the best
