Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the circuit which is not changed in characteristic value by a frequencies by switching the current value with a constant current source by the frequency of an input signal. CONSTITUTION:A signal 21 of a positive polarity which is a reading out signal s inputted to the positive terminal of a comparator 1 and a peak holding signal 23 is inputted to the negative terminal. On the other hand, a signal 22 of a negative polarity which is a reading out signal is inputted to the positive terminal of a compara tor 2 and a peak holding signal 23 is inputted to the negative terminal. The outputs of both the comparators 1, 2 turn to an L when the potential of the negative terminal falls to the potential lower than the potential of the positive terminal. The outputs turn to an H when the above-mentioned potential attains a high potential. The output of the comparator 1 is inputted to the base of a transistor 3 and the output of the comparator 2 is inputted to the base of a transistor 4. The TRs 3,4 turn off when the outputs of the comparators 1, 2 turn to the H. The TRs turn off when the outupts turn to the L. A switch 9 turns on and the current value by the constant current source 5 increases when the frequency of the reading out signal 23 is 2F. The switch 9 turns off and the current value by the constant current source 5 decreases when the frequency is 1F.

The conventional peak hold circuit described above does not include a constant current source, and therefore has the disadvantage that the charging current changes due to fluctuations in temperature and voltage. Further, since the discharge is a trickle type that discharges through a resistor, there is also a drawback that the amount of discharge varies depending on the frequency of the read signal.
