I've been playing with full wave rectifiers. one of the nicest designs is the EDN idea on Jims website. but for 20MHz operation (200kHz sawtooths) the opamp is a bit problematic - its response is all about how the opamp comes out of saturation, even with the extra diode.

any thoughts?

WHAT saturation? Are you tying to run it as single-supply? Don't ;-)

Brain engaged, mouth (OK, fingers) now in neutral - as opposed to the other way round.

1N4148s are not, it seems, infinitely fast :)

doh.

Thanks Jim

Tektronix has a patent on a technique using feedforward compensation specifically for sawtooth rectification at high frequency...
