If your system's signal processing requirements in-clude peak detection and amplification, consider a simple circuit that will satisfy both needs and save hardware. The single-supply circuit shown in ...

[Alan’s] friend came to him with a problem. He loved listening to his scanner, but hated the volume differences between stations. Some transmitters would be very low volume, others would nearly blow ...

I recently received an email from a student who needed to design a circuit to detect peaks in a 10-MHz analog signal. His plan was to use an A/D converter sampling at well beyond the Nyquist frequency ...

Switch-contact bounce is an unavoidable mechanical phenomenon and complicates the task of measuring contact resistance; this circuit uses a current source and classic analog peak-detector circuit to ...
