Sine reference is synchronous with ac line


                       Advertisements

Many applications require a sinusoidal reference voltage synchronized to the ac line voltage. You cannot derive such a reference voltage directly from the ac line because the waveform of the ac line is distorted because of nonlinear loads connected to the line and because the amplitude of the line signal varies. Hence, you cannot use a simple step-down transformer to derive the reference signal.[...]
