A high-performance full-wave rectifier using a single CCII-, two diodes, and two resistors

Abstract

In this paper, a voltage-mode full-wave rectifier circuit is proposed. The proposed full-wave rectifier circuit consists of only a single negative-type second-generation current conveyor, two diodes, and two matched resistors. The proposed circuit, without requiring any external bias voltages and currents, has a simple structure using a minimum number of active and passive components. It is implemented with AMS 0.35 mu m technology operating with +/- 1.65 V. Computer simulation and experimental results are included to verify the theory. (c) 2017 Sharif University of Technology.
