Abstract

In this article, a current mode peak detector circuit is presented. The simple circuit configuration comprises four MOS transistors and one external capacitor. The realization method is suitable fur fabrication using CMOS technology and all transistors are operated in their saturation region. The proposed circuit exhibits a very low drop rate and provides high accuracy, high-speed and wide dynamic range. The proposed circuit has very low power dissipation and operates using a single 2.5V supply. Simulation results confirmed the characteristic of the proposed circuit are also included.
