I have basic understanding of how a peak detector for anlaog signals work, but i have another question.
Imagine you have various pulses of signal that arrive at the peak detector, but you never know what their value is. A "normal" peak detector for example, will follow a sine wave curve until it reached its peak, and then holds the value unless another peak arrives.
What i'm looking for is an add-on circuit, that would fire a digital signal (no need for analog) just shortly after a peak was detected, eg. when the sine curve starts to fall down again. This would give the option to know that there was a peak that is valid, you can ADC it and then reset the peak detector by force to be ready for a new pulse. Basically my goal is to wait for random pulses, and get their peak value, i only care about the highest peak value in an analog value, and a signal shortly after the peak to know that this was the peak of the pulse
Is there an analog circuit to get this done? I know this can be done in DSP or so, but i guess building an analog solution is quicker and easier
