I have implemented the Peak Detect in Fig 55 on pg 19 of the AD8033/8034 data sheet. We have hand assembled 3 boards. 2 of the PCBs work fine, but one board is clipping/clamping. At the output of D1, it clamps at 4V. At node 2, it clamps at 3V, and at node 3, it clamps at 2V. (Vout is also at 2V) Since 2 boards work fine, I assume there is not a fundamental design flaw. Below are a few details:
+Vs = 12V (checked with meter)
-Vs = -12V (checked with meter)
1 ohm resisters in supply path. Current is a couple of mA
replaced all passives, including D1, D2, D3.
removed and shorted diodes, just to see if they were culprit.
Any ideas to try? (Note: we will start assembling PCB #4.)
Thanks
