Voltage follower output half wave signal; how can I reduce the ringing on the output?
I have used a voltage follower with a TSH082. I was able to get a half-wave signal with some slight ringing on the output (shown below).
Is there a way to reduce the ringing on the half-wave signal ...

Is there a current in \$R_1\$ in this precision rectifier if so, where does it go?
So Wikipedia on Precision Rectifier says that :
... when the input is greater than zero, \$D1\$ is off, and \$D2\$ is on, so the output is zero because the other end of \${\displaystyle R_{2}}\$ is ...

Why is the output of the precision rectifier 0 when the diode does not conduct?
From Wikipedia: "When the input voltage is negative, there is a negative voltage on the diode, so it works like an open circuit, no current flows through the load, and the output voltage is zero."
