TLV9062: Problem with peak detector

Part Number: TLV9062


Tool/software:

Hello,

I’m having an issue with the output voltage of my peak detector circuit.
I’ve attached the simulation file to this thread for reference.

Input signal :

  • Voltage: –3 V to +3 V

  • Pulse width: 10 µs (repeated once per minute)

When I simulate the circuit, I notice unexpected results:

  • For a 1 V input pulse, the output voltage rises to about 1.2 V.

  • For a 3 V input pulse, the output voltage only reaches around 2.6 V.

Could you please help me understand why the output doesn’t match the input peak voltage and how I can correct this behavior?

Thank you,

Best regards,

Vincent

  • The issue with 1V peak is caused by the overshoot at reset node that is stored across 100nF cap with no path for discharge.  Removing the cap solves the problem - see below.

    The issue with 3V peak is that 100n cap does not get fully charged within 10us pulse - removing the cap or lowering its value solves the problem (see below).
