PRECISION RECTIFIER AND PRECISION PEAK RECTIFIER

AIM:
To construct precision half wave rectifier and full wave rectifier using Op Amp.

APPARATUS REQUIRED:
1.Resistor
2.IC 741
3.Function Generator
4.Diode IN 4001
5.Connecting wires
6.CRO
7.Bread board

THEORY:
The major limitation of ordinary diodes is that it cannot rectify voltage below
0.6v,the cut in voltage of the diode. The precision rectifier, which is also known as a super
diode, is a configuration obtained with an operational amplifier in order to have a circuit
behaving like an ideal diode and rectifier. It can be useful for high-precision signal
processing

HALF WAVE RECTIFIER:


A half-wave rectifier is an electronic circuit. The rectifier circuit takes
alternating current (AC) from the wall outlet and converts it into a positive direct current
(DC) output. The particular electronic device that accomplishes this task is a
semiconductor called a diode. The diode like all semiconductors is a material which has a
resistance in between that of a conductor or wire and an insulator like that of a plastic.

FULL WAVE RECTIFIER:
A Full Wave Rectifier is a circuit, which converts an ac voltage into a pulsating
dc voltage using both half cycles of the applied ac voltage. It uses two diodes of
which one conducts during one half cycle while the other conducts during the other
half cycle of the applied ac voltage.

During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, diode D1 becomes forward
biased and D2 becomes reverse biased. Hence D1 conducts and D2 remains OFF.
The load current flows through D1 and the voltage drop across R L will be equal to
the input voltage. During the negative half cycle of the input voltage, diode D1
becomes reverse biased and D2 becomes forward biased. Hence D1 remains OFF
and D2 conducts. The load current flows through D2 and the voltage drop across RL
will be equal to the input voltage.

Procedure:

Full wave rectifier.
oSet the input signal voltage using Function Generator.

oObserve the output waveform in CRO and measure the output parameters.

oDraw the Graphs.

PRECISION PEAK RECTIFIER:


Operation of the circuit is quite straightforward. For v1 greater than the output voltage, the
op amp will drive the diode on, thus closing the negative-feedback path and causing the op
amp to act as a follower. The output voltage will therefore follow that of the input, with the
op amp supplying the capacitor-charging current. This process continues until the input
reaches its peak value. Beyond the positive peak, the op amp will see a negative voltage
between its input terminals. Thus its output will go negative to the saturation level and the
diode will turn off. Except for possible discharge through the load resistance, the capacitor
will retain a voltage equal to the positive peak of the input. Inclusion of a load resistance is
essential if the circuit is required to detect reductions in the magnitude of the positive peak.
