QUESTION
Explore the effects of noise on comparators and how they can be minimized. Explain 2 applications of
comparators. [25]
MARK……………………………………
SOLUTION:
Fig 1.
Fig 2.
CONCLUSION
Noise causes output wave distortion of the zero level detector due to
noise fluctuating which in turn causes a rapidly movement of the total
input voltage above and below the reference voltage at the inverting
input at the same voltage level.
REDUCING NOISE ON THE COMPARATOR USING HYSTERESIS.
Case 1.
When Vout is equal to +Vout(max), UTP is active while the LTP is in
active.
Case 2.
When Vout is equal to -Vout(max), LTP is now active while the UTP is in
active.
When Vin goes below LTP, the output switches to the +Vout(min).
Fig 4.
CONCLUSION
Fig 5.
The device triggers only once when UTP or LTP is reached as shown above in
Fig.5; thus, there is immunity to noise that is riding on the input signal.
