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 ...

A classic analog application is the full-wave precision rectifier (absolute value) function. Many variations exist on this theme, each with its own supposed (often rather minor and sometimes downright ...

Everyone loves a full-wave bridge rectifier, but there’s no denying that they aren’t 100% efficient due to the diode voltage ...

Idea for Design presents an algorithm for handheld calculators that gives a better approximation of of ripple voltages from a simple rectifier and cap. The standard practice for calculating the ripple ...

The LT4320 from Linear Technology Corporation is an ideal diode bridge controller for 9V to 72V systems that replaces each of the four diodes in a full-wave bridge rectifier with a low loss N-channel ...
