CIRCUIT060058

Single-supply, low-input voltage full-wave rectifier circuit

CIRCUIT060058

Overview

This single-supply precision absolute value circuit is optimized for low-input voltages. It is designed to function up to 50 kHz and has excellent linearity at signal levels as low as 5 mVpp. The design uses a negative charge pump (such as LM7705) on the negative op amp supply rails to maintain linearity with signal levels near 0 V.
Features
  • Input: Vi = 5 mV to 400 mV
  • Output: Vo = 2.5 mV to 200 mV
  • Supply:
    • Vcc = 5 V
    • Vee = -0.23 V
    • Vref = 0 V
Precision op amps (Vos<1mV)
OPA350 — Single, single-supply, rail-to-rail, high speed, low noise operational amplifier
General-purpose op amps
OPA353 — Single, 5.5-V, 44-MHz, low noise (7-nV/√Hz), RRIO operational amplifier
