Hi,
I am trying to design a peak detector in Multisim simulation tool. I have designed buffered peak detector to get peak voltage of sine signal. The designed circuit is working when signal voltage is constant, for example when signal voltage changes from 1V to 0.5V then it is giving 2V as peak detector output. The designed circuit as shown below.
In the above circuit I am using switch to change the voltage of sine wave from 1V to 0.5V. I am using one more switch to clip negative cycle of sine wave, then i am using buffered peak detector to get maximum voltage.
When i apply 1V sine wave it is working perfectly and giving peak voltage as DC. The problem is when I change signal voltage from 1V to 0.5V then also it is giving 1V as peak. ANy one suggest me what mistake i am doing. I want to design peak detector that will give max voltage even there is voltage variations.
