A peak amplitude detector for use with a linear variable differential transformer wherein the peak amplitude detector adjusts for phase shift in the transformer and maintains the full bandwidth of the transformer. The peak amplitude detector obtains the maximum positive or negative amplitude of the sinusoidal signal at one of the secondary windings of the transformer by first counting either a positive or negative half cycle of the signal and then while down counting one half of the counted half cycle sampling the amplitude of the sinusoidal signal. The sampling ends when the down count reaches zero.
