Abstract

A full-wave rectifying circuit includes a first current conducting path for conducting a current corresponding to a positive input voltage applied to an input terminal, a second current conducting path for conducting a current corresponding to a negative input voltage applied to the input terminal, and a current mirror circuit which is connected to the first and second current paths and which supplies, to a third current conducting path including a resistor, a current corresponding to a current flowing through either said first and second current paths.
