I hate to jump in and jack this discussion, but I was wondering if someone could offer me some advice about which op amps to use.
I am trying to build a HALF wave precision rectifier circuit. I managed to test the circuit and it worked fine using a standard LM741, however, in my completed circuit I can't use this and must use one with a smaller supply voltage. Eventually I chose to use an LMC6041N.
However, since I'm not entirely sure how op-amps work I was wondering if someone else could help me with this problem.
The LM741 produced a perfect half wave rectified signal, replacing it with the LMC6041N however gives FULL wave rectified signal at the output.
Does anyone have any idea why this might happen?
The circuit I'm using is identical to this one: http://www.play-hookey.com/analog/half-wave_rectifier.html
