ANALOG DEVICES AD637: High Precision Wideband RMS-to-DC Converter Data Sheet (Rev K 2011-02-15-)
The AD637 is a complete, high accuracy monolithic RMS-to-DC converter that computes the true RMS value of any complex waveform. It offers performance comparable to discrete techniques in accuracy, bandwidth, and dynamic range. The device includes an auxiliary dB output for logarithmic measurements and features a chip select connection to reduce supply current during non-use periods.
