And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...

Nexperia has introduced 120V silicon germanium (SiGe) rectifier diodes “with reverse voltages that combine the high efficiency of their Schottky counterparts with the thermal stability of ...

Conventional rectifiers employing diodes can’t be used with low-amplitude signals. This Idea for Design describes a circuit using Analog Devices' AD844 op amps to create a mixed-mode precision ...

Nearly four decades ago (in his Designs for High Performance Voltage-to-Frequency Converters), famed designer Jim Williams cataloged five fundamental techniques for voltage to frequency conversion.

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IXYS Corporation (NAS: IXYS) , a leader in power semiconductors, mixed-signal and digital ICs for power conversion and motion control applications, announced ...
