A new full-wave rectifier circuit employing single dual-X current conveyor

Abstract

In this study, a novel voltage-mode full-wave rectifier with high-input impedance using a dual-X second-generation current conveyor and three enhancement-type n-channel metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) is introduced. The proposed circuit does not employ any passive elements, and is simulated using SPICE program with level 49, 0.25 mu m TSMC CMOS technology parameters to confirm the theory and exhibit the performance of the circuit.
