NE5230, SA5230, SE5230
By adding another NE5230 in an inverting summer
configuration at the output of the half−wave rectifier, a
full−wave can be realized. The values for the input and
feedback resistors must be chosen so that each peak will
have equal amplitudes. A table for calculating values is
included in Figure 12. The summing network combines the
input signal at the half−wave and adds it to double the
half−wave’s output, resulting in the full−wave. The output
waveform can be referenced to the supply or ground,
depending on the half−wave configuration. Again, no
diodes are needed to achieve the rectification.
This circuit could be used in conjunction with the remote
transducer to convert a received AC output signal into a DC
level at the full−wave output for meters or chart recorders
that need DC levels.
