[Also in Division G1] A circuit for producing a unidirectional output proportioned to the amplitude of an alternating voltage includes an operational amplifier 71 with a resistive feedback loop M1, a rectifying arrangement connected to the output of the amplifier and a second feedback loop M2. The rectifying arrangement incorporates the base collector diode of a transistor T2 and the second feedback loop is connected between the emitter of this transistor and the amplifier input. The second feedback loop allows the bias of the transistor T2 to vary such that the rectified voltage is proportional to the input voltage and steady. This circuit has a low threshold value and high stability. The negative feedback M1 stabilizes the D.C. operating point to such a level as to switch off the transistor T2. During positive half cycles of an input, transistor T1 bottoms and T2 is maintained cut off. During negative half cycles T2 conducts and the negative feedback circuit M2 functions to maintain the output voltage at T2 collector linear in relation to the input at I, the transistor current in T2 being essentially equal to the input current of T1. The rectified alternating voltage at the output may be filtered by a capacitor. If this is in parallel with the output load resistor RO, direct voltage proportional to the rectified mean value of the supplied voltage is obtained, while if connected between collector and emitter of T2, a direct voltage proportional to the peak voltage supplied is obtained. |
