🔍 Key Concepts

• Comparator threshold behavior when the input is a sine wave (what voltage or phase point makes the output switch?) • Relationship between zero crossings, peaks, and phase angles (0°, 90°, 180°, etc.) for a sinusoid • Difference between positive and negative zero crossings, and how that affects when a rising edge will appear at the output

💭 Think About

• Sketch one full cycle of a sine wave and clearly mark the positive zero crossing, negative zero crossing, and the positive peak. Then think: at which of those points would a typical comparator change state? • If the comparator output is high when the input is above a certain threshold, at roughly what phase angle does that transition happen if the threshold is near zero? Does it align more naturally with a zero crossing or with a peak? • Look at each choice and ask: does this describe a rising edge that logically follows from when the sine wave crosses the threshold that makes the comparator change state?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the phase relationship: zero crossing of a sine wave vs its peak (how many degrees apart?) • Distinguish between leading and trailing in time/phase: which waveform changes first? • Verify whether a comparator with a nominal high output of 4.5 V would more likely switch near zero crossing or near the maximum amplitude of the sine wave, given typical comparator operation.
