Precision rectifier

The precision rectifier, sometimes called a super diode, is an operational amplifier (opamp) circuit configuration that behaves like an ideal diode and rectifier.[1]

The op-amp-based precision rectifier should not be confused with the power MOSFET-based active rectification ideal diode.
