Comparative Study of Bridge Rectifier and Precision Rectifier (using OP-AMP) with power supply and 1 meter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-EELE-12272
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Comparative Study of Bridge Rectifier and Precision Rectifier (using OP-AMP) with power supply and 1 meter (Product ID: 12272) as part of its electronics engineering lab equipment range. It compares a diode bridge rectifier with an op-amp precision rectifier on small AC signals.
Quick Answer
A diode bridge cannot rectify the part of the signal below its diode cut-in voltage (about 0.6-0.7 V for silicon, twice that across a bridge), so small inputs come out distorted. The board feeds the same 5 V p-p or 10 V p-p, 50 Hz signal to a bridge rectifier and to a precision rectifier built on IC 741 op-amps, where feedback removes the cut-in effect, and the outputs are compared on a 20 MHz CRO. It has three IC 741s, a ±15 V DC (50 mA) supply wired internally, a 0-10 V DC (50 mA) variable supply and a 0-15 V DC voltmeter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a bridge rectifier fail on small signals?
Two diodes conduct in series, so the input must exceed about twice the diode cut-in voltage.
How does the precision rectifier avoid this?
The op-amp gain inside the feedback loop cancels the diode drop.
What else is needed?
A 20 MHz CRO to view the waveforms.
