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 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 ...

Systems requiring power conversion and level detection employ full-wave rectification, traditionally provided by a diode bridge. But diode bridges consume a significant amount of board space and ...

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 ...
