Hey all, I'm new to this forum, so let me say hello and I thank everyone in advance for any help I may receive and hope to be able to help others in my own right as time goes on!
So my question is:
Does anyone have a way to convert a sine wave to a square wave? I've seen several methods available (comparator, schmidt, differential line, etc...) and I'm wondering if anyone has any previous experience and could point me in the right direction.
I'm trying to take in a 2v p-p, ground centered sine wave, operating at 60 Hz, and create a reliable input clock signal that's a square wave of 0-5v, also at 60Hz to act as a timer to set my PWM duty cycle on some thyristor pins. The ability to sync the PWM to the sine wave is of predominant importance here because there may be minor fluctuations in the frequency and I'd like my little clock signal to be able to follow that so that my PWM stays in sync with my input wave.
Again- thanks for any info or feedback!
