Circuit Description

Graph image for Active and Passive Peak Detectors

Circuit Graph

This pair of circuits demonstrates both a passive and an active peak detector. The active peak detector mitigates the diodes forward voltage drop and provides an acurate indication of the peak voltage. In the case of the passive peak detector, the 'peak' voltage is one diode voltage drop less.
