PRECISION RECTIFIER: A precision rectifier is an op-amp-based circuit that allows rectification of small AC signals without the voltage drop typically introduced by diodes. Unlike standard rectifiers that require a threshold voltage (around 0.7V for silicon diodes), precision rectifiers can operate with signals as low as a few millivolts, making them ideal for signal processing applications where accuracy is crucial. #rectifier #ElectronicsEducation #electronicsrd #electronics | Electronics Educ

This simulation shows an op-amp–based precision rectifier and signal conditioning circuit driven by a 60 Hz AC input. The input sine wave has a peak of about ±2 V, as seen in the waveform display, with an RMS value of approximately 1.41 V, which matches a 2 V peak sine wave. The green trace represents the input signal, while the red trace shows the processed output. The circuit uses operational amplifiers along with diodes and resistors to overcome the diode forward-voltage drop limitation found
