Trying make a high frequency peak detector, i have a couple of question.
hello all,
i am trying to make a peak detector using npn bjts as diodes and lm318 opamp. my input is a sinewave. so far my circuit works for frequency between 10k to 100k but as i start getting to higher frequency there is an voltage overshoot on the cap. i dont understand why there is an voltage overshoot, can somebody provide me with a solution. Note: my circuit has to go to 500KHz and the cap has must be discharging between the negative input wave.

How did you arrive at the component values, e.g. sampling cap? Not sure if LM318 is fast enough at the end, but quite surely a lower sampling charge time constant is required.
