Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional zero cross detection circuit is used, then noise elimination and high-speed detection are achieved, but accurate detection immediately after power-on is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply voltage detection circuit performs preliminary detection to determine when the power supply voltage has stabilized to a predetermined level before the zero cross detection function is activated. This preliminary action ensures that the comparator circuits operate only when sufficient voltage is available, guaranteeing reliable detection from the start-up phase while maintaining the noise elimination and high-speed detection capabilities of the conventional circuit.
2Reliability
If power supply voltage detection circuit is added, then accurate detection at start-up is achieved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply voltage detection circuit is merged with the existing zero cross detection circuit architecture. The detection signal from the power supply voltage detection circuit is integrated into the logic circuit that already processes signals from the comparator circuits. This merging approach adds the necessary start-up detection functionality while minimizing overall circuit complexity through functional integration rather than separate independent systems.
