Precision Full-Wave Peak Detector: Detect The Envelope of An Audio Signal

circuit schematic

This circuit detect the amplitude of audio signal, suitable for audio level detection that demand for high precision. Amplitude detection or signal envelope detection is usually implemented using a peak detector. An ideal amplitude detector give continuous level at any time because the amplitude of a sine signal (every signal can be seen as sine [...]

Single Transistor Half-Wave Peak Detector Circuit

circuit schematic

Using only a single transistor and few passive components, you can build a fairly sensitive peak detector. circuit This peak detector circuit is suitable for audio application, since the average sum of positive and negative cycle of audio signal has equal value. You can find a peak signal although you only detect the peak of [...]

Positive and Negative Peak Detector Circuit Using CA3130 Op-Amp

circuit schematic

Implementing peak-detector circuits is very easy with the CA3130, as shown in schematic diagram of this circuit. The figure below shows the schematic diagram of the peak detector circuit. The upper section is peak-positive and the lower section is peak-negative circuit. Please note that with large-signal inputs, the bandwidth of the peak-negative circuit [...]

PLL Lock Detection

circuit schematic

In some PLL application, sometimes we need to provide lock indication when the PLL is in locked state. The simplest one is binary indication, 0 or 1 to correspond with lock/unlock condition. This  condition should be easy to be presented with a LED lamp. The schematic diagram  shows a lock-detection scheme [...]

Precision Half-Wave Peak Detector

circuit schematic

A simple half-wave peak detector using a single transistor is very compact and low cost, but if the application require precise detection for signal under 100mV then that circuit become useless. Here you can use more precise half-wave peak detector circuit using only a single op-amp with few passive components. Look at the circuit’s schematic [...]

Open Loop Fast Peak Detector

circuit schematic

A fast peak detector similar but faster than previous peak detector, can be implemented using open loop configuration. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: In this  design, D1 is the detector diode and D2 is a level shifting or compensating diode. A load resistor RL is connected to – 5V and [...]
