Abstract :
To hold the absolute maximum value of a physical quantity and to follow its increments, if any, is of interest in several measuring and control applications. A digital device, which accomplishes a solution of this problem, is presented. The design resorts to sequential machine techniques and makes possible the utilization of usual MSI counters.
