#130876 - Zero Crossing detector woes |
I'm developing a ckt. to phase control a triac by using the INT1 as a zero crossing sensor. The correspomdimg ISR is supposed to cause different delays for firing a triac circuit.
The secondary of the transformer is connected to a bridge (DB017) which is in turn connted to pins 1 and 2 of the optocouple 4N35. I get a clean pulsating wave-form at the output of the 4N35 (emmitter, pin4 ). (w/o connecting to P3.3). However the moment I connect this output to P3.3 ( INT1) the pulsating wave-form distorts (the ground actually shifts up by 5V). Needless to say I get no output at the delay output pin. Why is connecting the P3.3 causing this ? Any links to practical zero crossing detector circuits? Thanks, Rishi |
