Half Wave And Full Wave Precision Rectifiers Using OP-AMP

Aim:
1) To design a Half wave precision rectifier using OPAMP to obtain an output of 5V for
given input of 0.5V peak sinusoidal signal.
2) To design a Full wave precision rectifier using OPAMP to obtain an output of 5V for
given input of 0.5V peak sinusoidal signal.

Half Wave Precision Rectifier:
Circuit Diagram:

Design:
Vo=(R/R)Vin
Given Vo =5V and Vin =0.5V
(R/R)=( Vo/ Vin)=(5/0.5)=10
Let R=4.7k then R=47k
Procedure:
1. Rig up the circuit as shown in circuit.
2. Apply 1KHz sinusoidal using AFO with a peak of 1V. (Positive peak=0.5V) and the
input and observe the output using CRO.
3. Note down the input and output voltage waveforms.
Expected output:
