Precision full-wave signal rectifier needs no diodes


Posted on Jun 8, 2012

Rectifier circuits based on semiconductor diodes typically handle voltage levels that greatly exceed the diodes` forward-voltage drops, which generally don`t affect the accuracy of the rectification process. However, the rectified signal`s accuracy suffers when the diode`s voltage drop exceeds the applied voltage. Precision rectifier circuits combine diodes and operational amplifiers to eliminate the effects of diode voltage drops and enable high-accuracy, small-signal rectification.
