ABSTRACT:
In one aspect of the present invention, a zero crossing detecting circuit is disclosed. The circuit includes a first comparator having an inverting and non-inverting input connected to an input signal. The non-inverting input of the first comparator is further connected to the first comparator output to provide a feed forward path. A second comparator is additionally included having an output connected to the first comparator inverting input. This provides the inverting input of the first comparator with a reference voltage that is substantially equal to that of the first comparator non-inverting input; thereby, providing the first comparator with balanced inputs.
