Precision rectifier

The precision rectifier is a configuration obtained with an operational amplifier in order to have a circuit behave like an ideal diode and rectifier. It is very useful for high-precision signal processing. With the help of a precision rectifier the high-precision signal processing can be done very easily.

The op-amp-based precision rectifier should not be confused with the power MOSFET-based active rectification ideal diode.
