For every time the supply crosses zero, there will be a pulse generated. →If the supply crosses zero from negative to positive, then there will be a positive pulse. → If the supply crosses zero from positive to negative, then there will be a negative pulse. Change the frequency of the supply to verify. The circuit consists of two main components 1) Comparator. 2) Differentiator Comparator: By providing positive feedback to an op amp, the op amp works as a comparator. Differentiator: It is just the RC series circuit: Where, dVo/dt=-Vin/RC This formula can be derived from the Time of charging and discharging equation of the RC series circuit, where Vo=Vin(e^(t/RC)) . To get a higher voltage, reduce the value of Resistance and capacitance, or Use a non inverting amplifier.

To get a positive pulse only, use a diode.
