Abstract: A new current mode precision rectifier is presented. This circuit provides precision rectification for wide range of input signal with low temperature sensitivity. It can work as full wave rectifier as well as half wave rectifier with controllability on action. It can amplify rectified current signal by a bias voltage. Direction of the output current signal can also be controlled by changing the polarity of the bias voltage. It can operate up to tens of Giga Hertz. The rectifier circuit with above features does not use any diode but only two CMOS CCCDTA. Power consumption of the circuit is 601.05μW. The performance of the circuit is verified by PSPICE simulations Keywords – CCCDTA, CMOS, current mode circuit, full wave rectifier, half wave rectifier, and PSPICE.
