Zero Crossing Detector •Zero-crossing detector is an applied form of
comparator. Either of the op-amp basic comparator circuits discussed can be employed as the zero-crossing detector provided the reference voltage Vref is made zero. •Zero-crossing detector using inverting op-amp comparator is depicted in figure. The output voltage waveform shown in figure indicates when and in what direction an input signal vin crosses zero volt. In some applications the input signal may be low frequency one (i.e. input may be a slowly changing waveform). •In such a case output voltage vOUT may not switch quickly from one saturation state to the other. Because of the noise at the input terminals of the op-amp, there may be fluctuation in output voltage between two saturation states (+ Vsat and – Vsat
voltages).• Thus zero crossings may be detected for noise voltages as well as input signal vin. Both of these problems can be overcome, if we use regenerative or positive feeding causing the output voltage vout to change faster and eliminating the false output transitions that may be caused due to noise at the input of the op-amp.
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)AndDigital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
1. DAC In an electronic circuit, a combination of high voltage (+5V) and low voltage (0V) is usually used to represent a binary number. For example, a binary number 1010 is represented by
Weighting 23 22 21 20
Binary Digit 1 0 1 0
State +5V 0V +5V 0V
DACs are electronic circuits that convert digital, (usually binary) signals (for example, 1000100) to analog electrical quantities (usually voltage) directly related to the digitally encoded input number.
DACs are used in many other applications, such as voice synthesizers, automatic test system, and process control actuator. In addition, they allow computers to communicate with the real (analog) world.

Register: Use to store the digital input (let it remain a constant value) during the conversion period. Voltage: Similar to an ON/OFF switch. It is ‘closed’ when the input is ‘1’. It is ‘opened’ when the input is ‘0’. Resistive Summing Network: Summation of the voltages according to different weighting. Amplifier: Amplification of the analog according to a pre-determined output voltage range. For example, an operation amplifier
The two most popular types of resistive summing networks are: · Weighted binary resistance type, and · Ladder resistance (R-2R) type
A typical digital-to-analog converter outputs an analog signal, which is usually voltage or current, that is proportional to the value of the digital code provided to its inputs. Most DAC's have several digital input pins to receive all the bits of its input digital code in parallel (at the same time). Some DAC's, however, are designed to receive the input digital data in serial form (one bit at a time), so these only have a single digital input pin. A simple DAC may be implemented using an op-amp circuit known as a summer, so named because its output voltage is the sum of its input voltages. Each of its inputs uses a resistor of different binary weight, such that if R0=R, then R1=R/2, R2=R/4, R3=R/8,..,
RN-1=R/(2N-1). The output of a summer circuit
with N bits is:
BINARY WEIGHTED D TO A CONVERTER
The R/2R DAC
The input circuit is a remarkable design, known as an R-2R ladder network. It has several advantages over the basic summer circuit we saw first:
Only two resistance values are used anywhere in the entire circuit. This means that only two values of precision resistance are needed, in a resistance ratio of 2:1. This requirement is easy to meet, and not especially expensive. The input resistance seen by each digital input is the same as for every other input. The actual impedance seen by each digital source gate is 3R. With a CMOS gate resistance of 200 ohms, we can use the very standard values of 10k and 20k for our resistors. The circuit is indefinitely extensible for binary numbers. Thus, if we use binary inputs instead of BCD, we can simply double the length of the ladder network for an 8-bit number (0 to 255) or double it again for a 16-bit number (0 to 65535). We only need to add two resistors for each additional binary input. The circuit lends itself to a non-inverting circuit configuration. Therefore we need not be concerned about intermediate inverters along the way. However, an inverting version can easily be configured if that is appropriate.
One detail about this circuit: Even if the input ladder is extended, the output will remain within the same output voltage limits. Additional input bits will simply allow the output to be subdivided into smaller increments for finer resolution. This is equivalent to adding inputs with ever-larger resistance values (doubling the resistance value for each bit), but still using the same two resistance values in the extended ladder.
Vo = VR/2N (SN-12N-1 + SN-22N-2+...+S020).
The basic theory of the R-2R ladder network is actually quite simple. Current flowing through any input resistor (2R) encounters two possible paths at the far end. The effective resistances of both paths are the same (also 2R), so the incoming current splits equally along both paths. The half-current that flows back towards lower orders of magnitude does not reach the op amp, and therefore has no effect on the output voltage. The half that takes the path towards the op amp along the ladder can affect the output.The most significant bit (marked "8" in the figure) sends half of its current toward the op amp, so that half of the input current flows through that final 2R resistance and generates a voltage drop across it. This voltage drop (from bit "8" only) will be one-third of the logic 1 voltage level, or 5/3 = 1.667 volts. This is amplified by the op amp, as controlled by the feedback and input resistors connected to the "-" input. For the components shown, this gain will be 3 (see the page on non-inverting amplifiers). With a gain of 3, the amplifier output voltage for the "8" input will be 5/3 × 3 = 5 volts.The current from the "4" input will split in half in the same way. Then, the half going towards the op amp will encounter the junction from the "8" input. Again, this current "sees" two equal-resistance paths of 2R each, so it will split in half again. Thus, only a quarter of the current from the "4" will reach the op amp. Similarly, only 1/8 of the current from the "2" input will reach the op amp and be counted. This continues backwards for as many inputs as there are on the R-2R ladder structure.The maximum output voltage from this circuit will be one step of the least significant bit below 10 volts. Thus, an 8-bit ladder can produce output voltages up to 9.961 volts (255/256 × 10 volts). This is fine for many applications. If you have an application that requires a 0-9 volt output from a BCD input, you can easily scale the output upwards using an amplifier with a gain of 1.6 (8/5).Vo = VR/2N (SN-12N-1 + SN-22N-2+...+S020).
