Abstract
A peak detector for detecting a peak signal includes an input circuit for inputting an input signal, a differential comparator for comparing the input signal with the peak signal to generate a difference signal, a diverting circuit to divert current between a first current path and a second current path based on the difference signal, and a comparator to accept current from the first current path and not from the second current path and to form the peak signal resulting from the current.
