The circuit in the diagram converts a
sinusoidal alternating voltage into a
direct voltage equal to the r.m.s.
value of the input voltage. What
makes the circuit special is that this
conversion, that is, rectification, averaging
and buffering, is effected by
only two op amps. The usual circuits
for this kind of conversion are generally
much more complex.
