Wide-band precision rectification
Operational-amplifier supply-current sensing is employed in the design of high-performance precision rectification. The designs presented in this paper compare favourably with conventional precision rectifier circuits both in linearity and bandwidth, and are constructed from low supply bias-current operational amplifiers and current mirrors. Application of this new rectifying technique in the design of precision peak-detector circuits is also described.
