Abstract
A true average peak detector includes an input capacitor having a capacitance C and an output capacitor having a capacitance nC. N voltage samples are successively stored on the input capacitor and are transferred to the output capacitor without discharging the latter. The output voltage from the accumulated charge on the output capacitor is equal to a true average of the voltages of the n samples.
