ABSTRACT
Peak responding MCDs are classified as (1) peak detecting MCD and (2) peak sampling MCD. A square wave/triangular waveform, whose time period T is (1) proportional to one voltage V2 and (2) inversely proportional to another voltage V1, is generated. The third input voltage V3 is integrated during this time period T. The peak value of the integrated output is proportional to https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> V 2 V 3 V 1 https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003362968/84470805-1cf0-4c82-9123-c2aee45613c9/content/eqa_3.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> . This is called a double dual slope peak responding MCD. A short pulse/saw tooth waveform, whose time period T is (1) proportional to one voltage V2 and (2) inversely proportional to another voltage V1, is generated. The third input voltage V3 is integrated during this time period T. The peak value of the integrated output is proportional to https://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> V 2 V 3 V 1 https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003362968/84470805-1cf0-4c82-9123-c2aee45613c9/content/eqa_4.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/> . This is called a double single slope peak responding MCD.
At the output of a peak responding MCD, if a peak detector is used, it is called a peak detecting MCD, and if sample and hold is used, it is called a peak sampling MCD. The peak responding MCDs of both peak detecting MCDs and peak sampling MCDs using multiplexers are described in this chapter.
