Study of Operational Amplifier as Sine to Square Wave Converter
Product Code : JA-COA-1141
The Study of Operational Amplifier as Sine to Square Wave Converter apparatus (SKU JA-COA-1141) turns a sine wave into a square wave with a zero-crossing detector. The circuit is a single-supply comparator: the sinusoidal input, with peaks of -5 V and +5 V, is first shifted by a voltage divider to a 0 V to 5 V sinusoid, and the comparator then switches its output each time the signal crosses the reference.

Frequently asked questions
How does the apparatus convert a sine wave to a square wave?
A single-supply comparator acts as a zero-crossing detector and switches at each crossing.
Why is a voltage divider used at the input?
It shifts the -5 V to +5 V sine input to a 0 V to 5 V signal for the single-supply comparator.
