Abstract

A maximum value tracing circuit employed in echo suppressors and the like for selecting the peak values of digitized voice signals. The digitized value of a signal previously stored in a register is continuously compared with the present digitized value. The larger value of the compared signals is stored in the register after application of each clear signal to the register. First and second maximum value tracing circuits of the type described may be employed in combination with a comparator-selector circuit for comparing the outputs of the first and second maximum value extraction circuits to produce a comparison output signal representative of the larger of the two compared outputs derived from the first and second maximum value extraction circuits, which output signal is utiized for providing reliable, high speed echo suppression.
