ABSTRACT:
A peak detector circuit operates to charge a capacitor to a level proportional to the peak input signal level. The charging circuit includes an emitter follower driver. The response time of the charging circuit is enhanced by coupling a constant current to the emitter follower output. The constant current acts to lower the emitter follower source impedance which operates to increase the rate of capacitor charging.
