A classic analog application is the precision active full-wave rectifier. Many different implementations exist of this theme, each with its own supposed advantages. However, one circuit element needed ...

Homework, for those following along, was to build a bridge rectifier and probe the signals from it. Let’s take a look. To the left is a schematic of a full-wave rectifier. Again, the important ...

the voltage drop that occurs with an ordinary semiconductor rectifier can be eliminated to give precision rectification. The below shown circuit is the precision full wave rectifier. It consists of ...

A full-wave rectifier that exploits the fact that the output voltage of certain single- supply op amps is effectively “clamped” to ground is described. It’s important that the op amp you ...

Also, a finer resolution in the transformer turns ratio is possible since the two secondaries of the full-wave rectifier are replaced with a single secondary winding in a current-doubler application.
