What are Zero-Crossing Detectors? Zero-crossing detectors are electronic circuits that detect the point at which an alternating current (AC) signal crosses the zero voltage level. In other words, they identify the moment when the voltage waveform transitions from positive to negative, or vice versa. This information is essential for controlling […]
