Half-wave Precision Rectifier: rails matter DarrellDesigner10 × Darrell Member for 10 years 5 months 624 designs 10 groups Big fan of VHDL-AMS https://explore.partquest.com/node/104286 <iframe allowfullscreen="true" referrerpolicy="origin-when-cross-origin" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="720" scrolling="no" src="https://explore.partquest.com/node/104286"></iframe> Title Description <p>It is a Amp-Op circuit capable of isolate, rectify and amplify a low power signal source. The rectification of an 100mV peak-to-peak signal is an example of suitable application for this circuit.</p><p>This upper version is made with ideal components. Notice that the amplifier is able to output kilovolts! A real device cannot do this.</p><p>The simulation seems to not follow what was indicated in specialized literature, as Sedra and Smith's Microelectronics 5th ed., in which the circuit is also refered as "superdiode". </p><p>The lower circuit uses a model that includes modeling of the power rails, an thus limits the output of the opamp.</p> About text formats Tags Amp-oprectifierprecisionhalf-waveRails Select a tag from the list or create your own.Drag to re-order taxonomy terms.
