    This document describes how a peak detector circuit works. It uses a diode and capacitor to charge the capacitor to the peak positive voltage of the input signal during each cycle. During the negative half cycle, the diode cuts off and the capacitor holds the peak voltage value from the previous cycle, detecting the peak of the input signal in 3 sentences or less.

    Peak Detector

    Peak Detector

    n the positive half cycle, diode D1 is forward biased and capacitor C1 starts charging. When input
    reaches its peak value capacitor gets charged to positive peak value.

    In negative half cycle, as input decreases, diode D1 is reversed biased and capacitor is isolated
    and holds the peak value of previous cycle. Hence called as peak detector.
