Hands-On with Analog Circuits & AI, Part 2: Simulating the Op-Amp Precision Half-Wave Rectifier

|
By Don Wilcher
| Design News Verified
An operational amplifier precision half-wave rectifier can help overcome challenges associated with weak sensor signals. Here’s how to model its impact using AI models. The ASLK Pro wired precision halfwave rectifier circuit.Dr. Don Wilcher At a Glance In engineering applications such as robotics and IoT devices, sensor signals are often too small to be processed. The op-amp precision half-wave rectifier accurately adjusts such low-amplitude signals so they can be read.

| Control Automation
Recent OpenPLC Editor versions offer an improved debugger, allowing real-time monitoring of variables and tags in industrial control applications running on an Arduino Uno PLC. A debugger is a software tool used to investigate the internal and external operations of an embedded controller during program execution. Most IDEs include a watch feature, allowing input devices, output states, and intermediate variables to be displayed within the OpenPLC console.

By Don Wilcher
| Design News Verified
Figure 1. The Texas Instruments (TI) Analog Systems Lab Kit (ASLK) Pro.Dr. Don Wilcher It is important to consider the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for analog test and measurement, as well as other electrical engineering activities, as it helps ensure that critical electrical parameters and system behaviors are analyzed before physical implementation. This approach improves efficiency and reduces design risk. AI helps optimize system performance early in the development process.
