GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8436 delivers true rms results at less cost than
misleading peak, averaging, or digital solutions. There is no
programming expense or processor overhead to consider, and
the 4 mm × 4 mm package easily fits into tight applications.
On-board buffer amplifiers enable the widest range of options
for any rms-to-dc converter available, regardless of cost. For
minimal applications, only a single external averaging capacitor
is required. The built-in high impedance FET buffer provides
an interface for external attenuators, frequency compensation,
or driving low impedance loads. A matched pair of internal
resistors enables an easily configurable gain-of-two or more,
extending the usable input range even lower. The low power,
precision input buffer makes the AD8436 attractive for use in
portable multi-meters and other battery-powered applications.
Rev. B
The precision dc output buffer minimizes errors when driving
low impedance loads with extremely low offset voltages, thanks
to internal bias current cancellation. Unlike digital solutions, the
AD8436 has no switching circuitry limiting performance at high or
low amplitudes (see Figure 2). A usable response of <100 µV and
>3 V extends the dynamic range with no external scaling,
accommodating demanding low level signal conditions and
allowing ample overrange without clipping.

The AD8436 is a new generation, translinear precision, low
power, true rms-to-dc converter loaded with options. It
computes a precise dc equivalent of the rms value of ac waveforms, including complex patterns such as those generated by
switch mode power supplies and triacs. Its accuracy spans a
wide range of input levels (see Figure 2) and temperatures.
The ensured accuracy of ≤±0.5% and ≤10 µV output offset
result from the latest Analog Devices, Inc., technology. The
crest factor error is <0.5% for CF values between 1 and 10.
Figure 2. Usable Dynamic Range of the AD8436 vs. ∆Σ
The AD8436 operates from single or dual supplies of ±2.4 V
(4.8 V) to ±18 V (36 V). A and J grades are available in a
compact 4 mm × 4 mm, 20-lead chip-scale package; A and B
grades are available in a 20-lead QSOP package. The operating
temperature ranges are −40°C to 125°C for A and B grades and
0°C to 70°C for J grade.

THEORY OF OPERATION
OVERVIEW
The rms value of an ac voltage waveform is equal to the dc voltage
providing the same heating power to a load. A common measurement technique for ac waveforms is to rectify the signal in a
straightforward way using a diode array of some sort, resulting in
the average value. The average value of various waveforms (sine,
square, and triangular, for example) varies widely; true rms is
the only metric that achieves equivalency for all ac waveforms.
See Table 5 for non-rms-responding circuit errors.
RMS Core
The core consists of a voltage-to-current converter (precision
resistor), absolute value, and translinear sections. The translinear
section exploits the properties of the bipolar transistor junctions
for squaring and root extraction (see Figure 24). The external
capacitor (CAVG) provides for averaging the product. Figure 20
shows that there is no effect of signal input on the transition times,
as seen in the dc output. Although the rms core responds to input
voltages, the conversion process is current sensitive. If the rms
input is ac-coupled, as recommended, there is no output offset
voltage, as reflected in Table 1. If the rms input is dc-coupled, the
input offset voltage is reflected in the output and can be calibrated
as with any fixed error.

The AD8436 is an implicit function rms-to-dc converter that
renders a dc voltage dependent on the rms (heating value) of an
ac voltage. In addition to the basic converter, this highly integrated
functional circuit block includes two fully independent, optional
amplifiers, a standalone FET input buffer amplifier and a precision
dc output buffer amplifier (see Figure 1). The rms core includes
a precision current responding full-wave rectifier and a log-antilog
transistor array for current squaring and square rooting to implement the classic expression for rms (see Equation 1). For basic
applications, the converter requires only an external capacitor, for
averaging (see Figure 31). The optional on-board amplifiers
offer utility and flexibility in a variety of applications without
incurring additional circuit board footprint. For lowest power,
the amplifier supply pins are left unconnected.

AD8436
Because the V-to-I input resistor value of the AD8436 rms core
is 8 kΩ, a high input impedance buffer is often used between
rms-dc converters and finite impedance sources. The optional
JFET input op amp minimizes attenuation and uncouples
common input amenities, such as resistive voltage dividers or
resistors used to terminate current transformers. The wide
bandwidth of the FET buffer is well matched to the rms core
bandwidth so that no information is lost due to serial bandwidth effects. Although the input buffer consumes little current,
the buffer supply is independently accessible and can be
disconnected to reduce power.
Optional matched 10 kΩ input and feedback resistors are provided
on chip. Consult the Applications Information section to learn
how these resistors can be used. The 3 dB bandwidth of the input
buffer is 2.7 MHz at 10 mV rms input and approximately 1.5 MHz
at 1 V rms. The amplifier gain and bandwidth are sufficient for
applications requiring modest gain or response enhancement to
a few hundred kilohertz (kHz), if desired. Configurations of the
input buffer are discussed in the Applications Information
section.
Dynamic Range
The AD8436 is a translinear rms-to-dc converter with exceptional
dynamic range. Although accuracy varies slightly more at the
extreme input values, the device still converts with no spurious
noise or dropout. Figure 25 is a plot of the rms/dc transfer function
near zero voltage. Unlike processor or other solutions, residual
errors at very low input levels can be disregarded for most
applications.

INPUT VOLTAGE (mV DC)
The precision output buffer is a bipolar input amplifier, laser
trimmed to cancel input offset voltage errors. As with the input
buffer, the supply current is very low (<50 μA, typically), and the
power can be disconnected for power savings if the buffer is not
needed. Be sure that the noninverting input is also disconnected
from the core output (OUT) if the buffer supply pin is disconnected. Although the input current of the buffer is very low,
a laser-trimmed 16 kΩ resistor, connected in series with the
inverting input, offsets any self-bias offset voltage.

FET Input Buffer
The output buffer can be configured as a single or two-pole lowpass filter using circuits shown in the Applications Information
section. Residual output ripple is reduced, without affecting the
converted dc output. As the response approaches the low
frequency end of the bandwidth, the ripple rises, dependent on
the value of the averaging capacitor. Figure 27 shows the effects of
four combinations of averaging and filter capacitors. Although
the filter capacitor reduces the ripple for any given frequency, the
dc error is unaffected. Of course, a larger value averaging
capacitor can be selected, at a larger cost. The advantage of using
a low-pass filter is that a small value of filter capacitor, in
conjunction with the 16 kΩ output resistor, reduces ripple and
permits a smaller averaging capacitor, effecting a cost savings.
The recommended capacitor values for operation to 40 Hz are
10 µF for averaging and 3.3 µF for filter.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE (mV DC)
The 16 kΩ resistor in the output converts the output current to
a dc voltage that can be connected to the output buffer or to the
circuit that follows. The output appears as a voltage source in
series with 16 kΩ. If a current output is desired, the resistor
connection to ground is left open and the output current is
applied to a subsequent circuit, such as the summing node of
a current summing amplifier. Thus, the core has both current
and voltage outputs, depending on the configuration. For a
voltage output with 0 Ω source impedance, use the output
buffer. The offset voltage of the buffer is 25 μV or 50 μV,
depending on the grade.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
USING THE AD8436
Ripple is reduced by increasing the value of the averaging capacitor,
or by postconversion filtering. Ripple reduction following
conversion is far more efficient because the ripple average value
has been converted to its rms value. Capacitor values for postconversion filtering are significantly less than the equivalent
averaging capacitor value for the same level of ripple reduction.
This approach requires only a single capacitor connected to the
OUT pin (see Figure 26). The capacitor value correlates to the
simple frequency relation of ½ π R-C, where R is fixed at 16 kΩ.
This section describes the power supply and feature options,
as well as the function and selection of averaging and filter
capacitor values. Averaging and filtering options are shown
graphically and apply to all circuit configurations.
Averaging Capacitor Considerations—RMS Accuracy
Typical AD8436 applications require only a single external
capacitor (CAVG) connected to the CAVG pin (see Figure 31).
The function of the averaging capacitor is to compute the mean
(that is, average value) of the sum of the squares. Averaging
(that is, integration) follows the rms core, where the input
current is squared. The mean value is the average value of the
squared input voltage over several input waveform periods.
The rms error is directly affected by the number of periods
averaged, as is the resultant peak-to-peak ripple.

Figure 26. Simple One-Pole Post Conversion Filter
The result of the conversion process is a dc component and a
ripple component whose frequency is twice that of the input. The
rms conversion accuracy depends on the value of CAVG, so the
value selected need only be large enough to average enough periods
at the lowest frequency of interest to yield the required rms
accuracy.
As seen in Figure 27, CAVG alone determines the rms error,
and CLPF serves purely to reduce ripple. Figure 27 shows a
constant rms error for CLPF values of 0.33 µF and 3.3 µF; only
the ripple is affected.

Figure 28 is a plot of rms error vs. frequency for various averaging
capacitor values. To use Figure 28, simply locate the frequency
of interest and acceptable rms error on the horizontal and
vertical scales, respectively. Then choose or estimate the next
highest capacitor value adjacent to where the frequency and
error lines intersect (for an example, see the orange circle in
Figure 28).

low value display numerals to flash.

Many applications require only a single external capacitor for

The signal source sees the input 8 kΩ voltage-to-current conversion
resistor at Pin RMS; thus, the ideal source impedance is a
voltage source (0 Ω source impedance). If a non-zero signal source
impedance cannot be avoided, be sure to account for any series
connected voltage drop.

Figure 29. Residual Ripple Voltage for Various Filter Configurations
Figure 30 shows the effects of averaging and post-rms filter
capacitors on transition and settling times using a 10-cycle,
50 Hz, 1 second period burst signal input to demonstrate timedomain behavior. In this instance, the averaging capacitor value
was 10 µF, yielding a ripple value of 6 mV rms. A postconversion
capacitor (CLPF) of 0.68 μF reduced the ripple to 1 mV rms. An
averaging capacitor value of 82 μF reduced the ripple to 1 mV
but extended the transition time (and cost) significantly.
An input coupling capacitor must be used to realize the near-zero
output offset voltage feature of the AD8436. Select a coupling
capacitor value that is appropriate for the lowest expected
operating frequency of interest. As a rule of thumb, the input
coupling capacitor can be the same as or half the value of the
averaging capacitor because the time constants are similar. For
a 10 μF averaging capacitor, a 4.7 μF or 10 μF tantalum capacitor
is a good choice (see Figure 31).

Using a Capacitor for High Crest Factor Applications
The AD8436 contains a unique feature to reduce large crest
factor errors. Crest factor is often overlooked when considering
the requirements of rms-to-dc converters, but it is very
important when working with signals with spikes or high peaks.
The crest factor is defined as the ratio of peak voltage to rms.
See Table 5 for crest factors for some common waveforms.

For general usage, such as most DMM or power measurement
applications where input amplitudes are typically greater than

space, performance, and economy.
For input amplitudes less than around a millivolt, low dc leakage
capacitors, such as film or X8L MLCs, maintain rms conversion
accuracy. Metalized polyester or similar film styles are best, as
long as the temperature range is appropriate. X8L grade MLCs are
rated for high temperatures (125°C or 150°C), but are available only
up to 10 μF. Never use electrolytic capacitors, or X7R or lower grade

Crest factor performance is mostly applicable for unexpected

the average ac value can be quite low.

Using the FET Input Buffer
The on-chip FET input buffer is an uncommitted FET input
op amp used for driving the 8 kΩ I-to-V input resistor of the
rms core. Pin IBUFOUT, Pin IBUFIN−, and Pin IBUFIN+ are
the I/O, Pin IBUFINGN is an optional connection for gain in
the input buffer, and Pin IBUFV+ connects power to the
buffer. Connecting Pin IBUFV+ to the positive rail is the
only power connection required because the negative rail is
internally connected. Because the input stage is a FET and
the input impedance must be very high to prevent loading
of the source, a large value (10 MΩ) resistor is connected from
midsupply at Pin IGND to Pin IBUFIN+ to prevent the input
gate from floating high.
For unity gain, connect the IBUFOUT pin to the IBUFIN− pin.
For a gain of 2×, connect the IBUFGN pin to ground. See Figure 9
and Figure 10 for large and small signal responses at the two
built-in gain options.
The offset voltage of the input buffer is ≤500 μV, depending on
grade. A capacitor connected between the buffer output pin
(IBUFOUT) and the RMS pin is recommended so that the
input buffer offset voltage does not contribute to the overall
error. Select the capacitor value for least minimum error at the
lowest operating frequency. Figure 33 is a schematic showing
internal components and pin connections.
Because the 10 kΩ resistors are closely matched and trimmed to
a high tolerance, the input buffer gain can be increased to several
hundred with an external resistor connected to Pin IBUFIN−.
The bandwidth diminishes at the typical rate of a decade per 20 dB
of gain, and the output voltage range is constrained. The small
signal response, shown in Figure 9, serves as a guide. For example,
suppose one wanted to detect small input signals at power line
frequencies? An external 10 Ω resistor connected from IBUFIN− to
ground sets the gain to 101 and the 3 dB bandwidth to ~30 kHz,
which is more than adequate for amplifying power line frequencies.
Using the Output Buffer
The AD8436 output buffer is a precision op amp optimized for
high dc accuracy. Figure 34 shows a block diagram of the basic
amplifier and I/O pins. The amplifier is often configured as a unity
gain follower but is easily configured for gain, as a Sallen-Key lowpass filter (in conjunction with the built-in 16 kΩ I-to-V resistor).
Note that an additional 16 kΩ on-chip precision resistor in series
with the inverting input of the amplifier balances output offset
voltages resulting from the bias current from the noninverting
amplifier. The output buffer is disconnected from Pin OUT for
precision core measurements.
As with the input FET buffer, the amplifier positive supply is
disconnected when not needed. In normal circumstances, the
buffers are connected to the same supply as the core. Figure 35
shows the signal connections to the output buffer. Note that
the input offset voltage contribution by the bias currents are
balanced by equal value series resistors, resulting in near zero
offset voltage.

Figure 14 shows the effects of an additional crest factor
capacitor of 0.1 μF and an averaging capacitor of 10 μF. The
larger capacitor serves to average the energy over long spaces
between pulses, while the CCF capacitor charges and holds the
energy within the relatively narrow pulse.
Figure 35. Basic Output Buffer Connections
Figure 33. Connecting the FET Input Buffer
Capacitor coupling at the input and output of the FET buffer is
recommended to avoid transferring the buffer offset voltage to
the output. Although the FET input impedance is extremely high,
the 10 MΩ centering resistor connected to IGND must be taken
into account when selecting an input capacitor value. This is simply
an impedance calculation using the lowest desired frequency,
and finding a capacitor value based on the least attenuation desired.
For applications requiring ripple suppression in addition to the
single-pole output filter described previously, the output buffer
is configurable as a two-pole Sallen-Key filter using two external
resistors and two capacitors. At just over 100 kHz, the amplifier
has enough bandwidth to function as an active filter for low
frequencies such as power line ripple. For a modest savings in
cost and complexity, the external 16 kΩ feedback resistor can be
omitted, resulting in slightly higher VOS (80 μV).

AD8436 EVALUATION BOARD
The AD8436-EVALZ provides a platform to evaluate AD8436
performance. The board is fully assembled, tested, and ready to
use after the power and signal sources are connected. Figure 47
is a photograph of the board. Signal connections are located on the
primary and secondary sides, with power and ground on the inner
layers. Figure 42 to Figure 46 illustrate the various design details of
the board, including basic layout and copper patterns. These
figures are useful for reference for application designs.
A Word About Using the AD8436 Evaluation Board
The AD8436-EVALZ offers many options, without sacrificing
simplicity. The board is tested and shipped with a 10 μF averaging
capacitor (CAVG), 3.3 μF low-pass filter capacitor (C8) and a
0.1 μF (COPT) capacitor to optimize crest factor performance.
To evaluate minimum cost applications, remove C8 and COPT.
The functions of the five switches are listed in Table 6.
