SBOS258E November 2002 – April 2025 OPA698
PRODUCTION DATA
The circuit shown in Figure 8-18 combines a half-wave rectifier driving the OPA693 in an inverting configuration, while the input signal drives the noninverting input of the fixed gain amplifier OPA693, resulting in a full wave rectifier function. Figure 8-19 shows the results.

WaveIf the negative excursion of the rectified signal is not desired, can easily be removed by replacing the OPA693 with the OPA698 configured as a difference amplifier with VL connected to ground and VH left floating.
