A Simple Peak Detector Circuit can be built by using a diode and a capacitor. Basic Peak Detector Circuit. A basic peak detector circuit is a connection of a diode and a capacitor in series. In our ...
The input impedance of the detector is around 300kO, which doesn’t appreciably load the source. The diode is operated with a slight forward bias so a regular silicon signal diode (e.g., 1N914) can be ...
Nonlinear characteristics of semiconductor devices play a key role in the performances of circuits, however, their modelling is still a big challenge in circuit simulations nowadays, especially in a ...
But some simple, basic circuits are still going strong after many decades. Consider the analog peak detector shown in Figure 1 in simplified form. It's sometimes called a peak-hold circuit (and ...

The instinctive reaction when measuring nuclear radiation is to think of a Geiger counter, as the low-pressure gas tube detectors have entered our popular culture through the Cold War. A G-M tube i… ...
