Full-Wave Rectifier Operates to 200 MHz - 07/20/95 EDN Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 uses current-feedback amplifiers to implement a wideband full-wave rectifier for applications such as a control/AGC system reference or as an amplitude indicator. Putting the full-wave-rectifier diodes in the feedback loop of an op amp works better than does using simple diode-based rectifiers.

Generate Boost Rails In a Bridge-Rectifier - 11/16/12 EDN Design Ideas: Bridge ac inputs have the ability to sink and source current with reference to the bridge-rectifier outputs. Many single-voltage power supplies consist of a transformer, a rectifier, and a filter capacitor, as shown in Figure 1. This circuit is relatively inexpensive and easy to build but supplies only a single voltage. Circuits employing op amps, data converters, and other analog circuit blocks often require additional voltages to operate. These extra voltages can be either higher than the main supply voltage or negative. Design by Horst Koelzow, Calgary, Alberta
Good 12 Volt Switching Power Supply - This is a good Circuit for those persons needing to Boost or drop a voltage. The Output is High Frequency, but can be Rectified and Filtered to give DC Out. When Rectifying High Frequencies, You MUST use the Appropriate types of HiGH SPEED Diodes to handle these frequencies. Normal diodes WiLL OVERHEAT and Burn out. __ Designed by G.L. Chemelec

High Current Power Supply - Since my page was first posted, I have received a number of emails asking about a high current power supply. I looked around, but couldn't find one that was suitable. So, I designed this. it is a linear supply, which might have a few of you rolling your eyes, but it takes very few parts, is simple to build and can supply huge currents. __ Contact IQ Technologies
High current regulated power supply -
Scroll to find this circuit: The high current regulator below uses an additional winding or a separate transformer to supply power for the LM317 regulator so that the pass transistors can operate closer to saturation and improve efficiency. For good efficiency the voltage at the collectors of the two parallel 2N3055 pass transistors should be close to the output voltage. The LM317 requires a couple extra volts on the input side, plus the emitter/base drop of the 3055s, plus whatever is lost across the (0.1ohm) equalizing resistors (1volt at 10 amps) , so a separate transformer and rectifier/filter circuit is used that is a few volts higher than the output voltage __ Designed by Bill Bowden

High side PWM Motor/Light Controller - The diagrams are for 12V operation only and there are high side (common ground) and low side (common +12V) versions. The low side version of the circuit uses an N Channel FET, the high side version of the circuit uses a P Channel FET. N Channel devices tend to handle more current than P Channel devices, they are also less expensive. The high side version of the circuit is useful when one side of the load has to be grounded __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook
High-Speed Rectifier Uses No Diode - 03/30/95 EDN Design Ideas: Fig 1 shows a high-speed, full-wave rectifier-or absolute-value circuit-that uses a high-speed clamping amplifier, IC 2. This circuit is faster and performs better than rectifiers employing diodes in their amplifiers' feedback paths. These diode-based circuits have limitations at lower signal-input levels and higher bandwidths. These limitations Design by Paul Hendricks, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA
