This study presents a versatile precision rectifier. The circuit yields a positive half-wave signal, a negative half-wave signal, a positive full-wave signal and a negative full-wave signal into one single structure. The personal computer simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (PSPICE) simulation is performed to examine the performance of the new circuit. The experimental result is also confirmed workability of the proposed circuit.
