Voltage-mode full-wave rectifier based on DXCCII

Abstract

The paper deals with the design and performance analyses of a current conveyor based voltage-mode full-wave rectifier. In the structure of the proposed nonlinear circuit the second-generation current conveyor and dual-X current conveyor have been used as active elements. In the circuit the current sourcing scheme of the diodes is used to enable high-frequency signal processing. Except the active elements and only two rectifying diodes, other two resistors are required, generally operating as simple voltage-to-current and current-to-voltage converters. Using the CMOS implementation of the active elements, the performance of the rectifier was analyzed by evaluating the frequency dependent RMS error and DC transient value for different values of input voltage magnitudes. Furthermore, using readily available integrated circuits, the performance of the proposed structure has also been verified by experimental measurements that show the feasibility of the voltage-mode full-wave rectifier.

A High Performance Full-Wave Rectifier Using a Single CCII-, Two Diodes and Two Resistor

“…A VM full-wave recti er proposed in [15] uses one CCII and a number of MOS transistors. VM full-wave recti er topologies of [16] employ one CCII and one DXCCII. Also, a VM fullwave recti er circuit, consisting of two dual output CCIIs, have been proposed in [17].…”

“…However, most of these circuits operating in VM su er from using at least four diodes and/or two active elements [2][3][4][5][7][8][9]11,12,14,16,17].…”

A single CCII‐based high‐precision voltage‐mode full‐wave rectifier suitable for low‐level signals

“…Diode only full‐wave rectifiers (FWRs) have limitations due to the threshold voltages of the diodes. As a result, active device‐based voltage‐mode (VM) FWRs given in literature 1–25 have been developed in the literature. These active elements are second‐generation current conveyor (CCII), 1–10,13–15 voltage conveyor (VC), 11,19 dual‐X CCII (DX‐CCII), 12,13 operational amplifier (OA), 14–16 current controlled CCII (CCCII), 17,18 current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA), 20 differential voltage current conveyor (DVCC), 21 operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), 22,23 current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA), 24 and differential difference current conveyor (DDCC) 25 .…”

In addition to these active devices, some of the other components such as resistors, diodes, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), and MOS transistors are employed to realize VM FWRs, because, for low‐level signals, FWRs with high precision are significant building blocks in instrumentation, measurement, and control such as AC voltmeter, AC ammeter, AC wattmeter, RF demodulators, piecewise linear function generators, various nonlinear analog signal‐processors, signal‐polarity detectors, averaging circuits, peak value detectors, root mean square to DC converters, etc.…”
