The MCP6001/2/4 op amp has a high input impedance,
rail-to-rail input and output and low input bias current,
which makes this device suitable for a peak detector
applications. Figure 3-7 shows a peak detector circuit
with clear and sample switches. The peak-detection
cycle uses a clock (CLK), as shown in Figure 3-7.
At the rising edge of CLK, Sample Switch closes to
begin sampling. The peak voltage stored on C

In order to define the t
to determine the capacitor charging and discharging
period. The capacitor charging time is limited by the
amplifier source current, while the discharging time ( )
is defined using R

The op amp output current limit, and the size of the
storage capacitors (both C
ing limitations as the input voltage (V
rent through a capacitor is dependent on the size of the
capacitor and the rate of voltage change. From this
relationship, the rate of voltage change or the slew rate

EQUATION
This voltage change rate is less than the MCP6001/2/4
slew rate of 600 mV/µs. When the input voltage swings
below the voltage across C
biased, which opens the feedback loop and rails the
amplifier. When the input voltage increases, the ampli-
fier recovers at its slew rate. Based on the rate of volt-
age change shown in the above equation, it takes an
extended period of time to charge a 0.1 µF capacitor.
The capacitors need to be selected so that the circuit is
not limited by the amplifier slew rate. Therefore, the
capacitors should be less than 40 µF and a stabilizing
resistor (R
