GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD736 is a low power, precision, monolithic true rms-to-
dc converter. It is laser trimmed to provide a maximum error of
±0.3 mV ± 0.3% of reading with sine wave inputs. Furthermore,
it maintains high accuracy while measuring a wide range of
input waveforms, including variable duty-cycle pulses and triac
(phase)-controlled sine waves. The low cost and small size of
this converter make it suitable for upgrading the performance
of non-rms precision rectifiers in many applications. Compared
to these circuits, the AD736 offers higher accuracy at an equal
or lower cost.
The AD736 can compute the rms value of both ac and dc input
voltages. It can also be operated as an ac-coupled device by
adding one external capacitor. In this mode, the AD736 can
resolve input signal levels of 100 μV rms or less, despite variations
in temperature or supply voltage. High accuracy is also maintained
for input waveforms with crest factors of 1 to 3. In addition,
crest factors as high as 5 can be measured (introducing only 2.5%
additional error) at the 200 mV full-scale input level.
The AD736 has its own output buffer amplifier, thereby pro-
viding a great deal of design flexibility. Requiring only 200 μA
of power supply current, the AD736 is optimized for use in
portable multimeters and other battery-powered applications.

The AD736 allows the choice of two signal input terminals: a
high impedance FET input (10
High-Z input attenuators and a low impedance input (8 kΩ) that
allows the measurement of 300 mV input levels while operating
from the minimum power supply voltage of +2.8 V, −3.2 V. The
two inputs can be used either single ended or differentially.
The AD736 has a 1% reading error bandwidth that exceeds
10 kHz for the input amplitudes from 20 mV rms to 200 mV rms
while consuming only 1 mW.
The AD736 is available in four performance grades. The
AD736J and AD736K grades are rated over the 0°C to +70°C
and −20°C to +85°C commercial temperature ranges. The
AD736A and AD736B grades are rated over the −40°C to +85°C
industrial temperature range. The AD736 is available in three
low cost, 8-lead packages: PDIP, SOIC, and CERDIP.

... CALCULATING SETTLING TIME USING FIGURE 16 Figure 16 can be used to closely approximate the time required for the AD736 to settle when its input level is reduced in amplitude.

... Other waveforms, such as low duty-cycle pulse trains and SCR waveforms, have high crest factors.
