    EXTRACT - Single-Supply Half and Full-Wave Rectifier

    Uploaded by

    Elantoine
    This document describes a single-supply half and full-wave rectifier circuit that requires only a dual op amp, two resistors, and operates on a single power supply. The circuit uses the op amps and feedback to bootstrap one input, forcing it to equal the other during the positive half of the input cycle and invert the input during the negative half, thereby rectifying the input signal. This produces a full-wave rectified output at one pin and an optional half-wave rectified output at the other. The circuit maintains 1% accuracy for 10kHz, 8V peak-to-peak signals using a +5V supply and can rectify ±18V inputs using a single +20V supply.

    Single-Supply Half and Full-Wave Rectifier

    There are a number of ways to construct half and full-wave rectifiers using combinations
    of op amps and diodes, but the circuit shown in Figure 6-155 below requires only a dual
    op amp, two resistors, and operates on a single supply (see Reference 3).

    The circuit will work with any single-supply op amp whose inputs can withstand being
    pulled below ground. The AD820 (single) or AD822 (dual) op amps have N-channel
    JFET inputs, which allow the input voltage to go to 20V below the negative supply.

    The output stage of these op amps is a complementary bipolar common emitter rail-to-rail
    stage with an output resistance of approximately 40Ω when sourcing current and 20Ω
    when sinking current. As a result of this stage, the outputs can go within a few millivolts
    of the supply rails under light loading.

    When the input signal is above ground, unity-gain follower U1A and the loop of the
    amplifier U1B bootstrap R1. This bootstrapping forces the inputs of U1B to be equal.
    Thus, no current flows in R1 or R2, and the output VOUTA tracks the input. Conversely,
    when the input is negative, the output of U1A is forced to zero (saturated). The non-
    inverting input of U1B sees the ground-level output of U1A, and during this phase
    operates as a unity-gain inverter, rectifying the negative portion of the input VIN.

    The net output at VOUTA is therefore a full-wave rectified version of VIN. In addition, a
    half-wave rectified version is obtained at the output of U1A (VOUTB) if desired.

    The circuit operates with a single power supply of +3 to +20V. The circuit will maintain
    an accuracy of better than 1% over a 10kHz bandwidth for inputs of 8Vp-p on a +5V
    supply. The input should not go more than 20V below the negative supply, or closer than
    1V to the positive supply. Inputs of ±18V can be rectified using a single +20V supply.
