Description

A precision half wave rectifier using an opamp.

The simulation is run with and without D1 in the circuit to show the effect of maintaining the virtual earth at the opamp inverting input.

This diode also reduces the voltage over which opamp output has to slew and so allows operation at high frequencies.
