Experiment No: 01
Experiment Name: To Study different types of Non-inverting Detector.
Objective: The objective of this experiment is:
01. To know when a signal or voltage to be monitored is going to a predefined voltage level.
02. To study how we can control the output voltage by controlling the power supply.
Theory:
Zero-Crossing Detector: A zero crossing detector is an electronic circuit that consists of an operational amplifier with an input voltage at its positive input terminal.
For non-inverting zero crossing detector when the input voltage is positive, the output voltage is a positive value, when the input voltage is negative; the output voltage is a negative value.
Positive Detector: In Fig-02 a positive reference voltage Vref is applied to one of the op amp’s inputs. This means that the op amp is set up as a comparator to detect a positive voltage.
If the voltage to be sensed, Ei, is applied to the op amp’s (+) input, the result is a non inverting positive-level detector. When Ei is above Vref, Vo equals +Vsat. When Ei is below Vref, Vo equals –Vsat.
Negative Detector: Figure-03 is a non inverting negative-level detector. This circuit detects when input signal Ei crosses the negative voltage –Vref. When Ei is above –Vref, Vo Equals +Vsat. When Ei is below –Vref, Vo equals –Vsat.
The magnitude of the output voltage is a property of the operational amplifier and its power supply. When used with a ±15 V power supply and a 741C/OPA620 operational amplifier, Vsat+ is approximately 13.6 V and Vsat- is approximately -14.3 V.
