[edit] Moving

Are we ment to discuss moving the article here?? anyway, in any book I studied, the circuit that here is reported was always called 'super-diode'. I suggest precision rectifier to be a simple redirect to this page, as long as somebody else will invent a smarter way to rectify voltage :-) Alessio Damato 18:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

• Results 1 - 10 of about 604 for "precision rectifier" [1]
• Results 1 - 10 of about 315 for "super diode". [2]

Hmmm... — Omegatron 19:53, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

ok, I got it: then super-diode will be a redirect to 'precision rectifier'. I agree with that. Alessio Damato 13:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I just never heard super diode before, but I guess it's pretty common. So I dunno. The name is fine, I guess. Plus we have to differentiate between precision half-wave and full-wave rectifiers. — Omegatron 17:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vin arrows

The V_in arrows on the two diagrams point outward rather as if they were emitting a signal. This doesn't seem right so perhaps they could be removed or made to point inward toward the amplifiers.--Hooperbloob 16:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Good point. They should either be circles or the input arrow should be pointing in. — Omegatron 20:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I see. I just used the notation my teachers use, but I will change it as soon as I have some time. I will add a full wave rectifier as well, just give me some time. Alessio Damato 10:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Excellent. Thanks. Also note that I added a connection dot to the junction of four wires. These should always be present. — Omegatron 15:00, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

We should also draw a full-wave rectifier circuit, but I can't use xcircuit easily and I don't want to use two different circuit styles on the same page. — Omegatron 20:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
