Abstract
The circuit comprises a first threshold comparator (2,3) with hysteresis which is arranged to provide a reference signal (V.sub.c) indicative of the zero-crossing of the sensor signal (V.sub.p). Also connected to the sensor (P) is an integrator circuit (4) whose output is connected to the input of a second threshold comparator (7). The latter provides an inabling output signal (V.sub.e) only when the integrated signal (V.sub.i) exceeds a reference signal (V.sub.2) whose amplitude varies in a predetermined manner in dependance on the amplitude of the integrated signal (V.sub.i). An inabling circuit (14) is connected to the two threshold comparators (2,3;7) and outputs the signal (V.sub.c) generated by the first comparator (2,3) only when the second comparator (7) emits an enabling output signal (V.sub.e).
