FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AD637 embodies an implicit solution of the rms equation
that overcomes the inherent limitations of straightforward rms
computation. The actual computation performed by the AD637
follows the equation
Figure 4 is a simplified schematic of the AD637, subdivided
into four major sections: absolute value circuit (active rectifier),
squarer/divider, filter circuit, and buffer amplifier. The input

The output current of the squarer/divider I
a low-pass filter with the external averaging capacitor. If the RC
time constant of the filter is much greater than the longest period
of the input signal, then the A4 output is proportional to the
average of I

Q1
Q2
To compute the absolute value of the input signal, the averaging
capacitor is omitted. However, a small capacitance value at the
averaging capacitor pin is recommended to maintain stability;
5 pF is sufficient for this purpose. The circuit operates identically
to that of the rms configuration, except that I

The denominator current can also be supplied externally by
providing a reference voltage (V
