A CMOS peak detect sample and hold circuit

In pulse electronics systems, like particle calorimeters, circuits that can hold the peak value of a signal are important links. The desire of integrating complete particle detection systems on a single IC requires compact and low power peak detect sample and hold circuits (PDSH). In this paper, a PDSH architecture is presented which is especially designed for CMOS integration. >
