8.2.5.1 High-Speed Full-Wave Rectifier #1

The circuit shown in Figure 8-16 uses only one amplifier, in an inverting gain of –1V/V configuration. The upper limiting voltage is left open, resulting in an upper limiting voltage of 3.5V. The lower limiting voltage is connected to the input signal, resulting in the following behavior. When the input voltage is negative, the amplifier is not limiting, resulting in the inversion of the input sine wave to the output. During the positive excursion of the input signal, the output signal is being driven by the limiting input pin. The output is driven from the limiter input pin from positive inputs, the lower slew rate in the input path restricts the application of this approach to lower amplitude, frequencies, or both. Figure 8-17 shows a 2MHz fully rectified sine wave.

To reach higher frequencies, a second method is recommended.
