I'm looking to change my breadboard design of an amplifier into a PCB. This is the first PCB I've designed and I'm not sure what sort of components to get.
My original full wave rectifier is made of a tl072 and diodes/resistors but I was wondering is there a surface mount component that incorporates all of these? I'm working with small bio-signals so the current won't be that large.
Thanks

There aren't any standard full-wave rectifier ICs that are commonly available, but there are integrated bridge rectifiers, which perform the same function slightly differently. Here is a great explaining article. They are commonly available, you asked for an SMD version? (Note: that link is to a manufacturer, not a supplier to the public). If you need more help please post your circuit and I can explain how to include this in it.
