Zero-crossing detection circuit
A zero-crossing detection circuit includes a zero-crossing detection unit arranged to compare a first monitoring target signal and a second monitoring target signal respectively input through diodes from a first node and a second node between which an AC signal is applied, so as to generate a first comparison signal, and a logic unit arranged to estimate a zero cross of the AC signal from the first comparison signal so as to generate a zero-crossing detection signal. The zero-crossing detection circuit preferably includes a monitoring unit arranged to adjust the first monitoring target signal and the second monitoring target signal to be suitable for input to the zero-crossing detection unit. The logic unit preferably counts a period of the first comparison signal and estimates a zero cross of the AC signal using a count value thereof.
