Autoranging True RMS-to-DC Converter - A programmable gain amplifier (LTC6910-2) and a window comparator (LTC6700-1) and some control logic creates a wide dynamic range RMS to DC converter. The comparator monitors the DC output and signals whether to increment or decrement the gain to maintain a predetermined output voltage range. Knowing the output DC voltage and the gain setting can determine the True RMS amplitude of the signal being monitored__ Linear Technology/Analog Devices App Note, Mar 16, 2010 Circuit measures true-rms & average value - 09/26/02 EDN Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 measures both the true-rms value and the rectified average value of an ac signal. This design uses two low-cost ICs in SOIC packages and consumes only 180 µA of quiescent current. Operating from a single 5V supply, the circuit has an input dynamic range of less than 30 mV to greater than 3V rms Design by Charles Kitchin and Lew Counts, Analog Devices, Wilmington, MA
Circuit's RMS output is linearly proportional to temperature over wide range - it is known that the p-n diode can be the basis of an accurate thermometer for cryogenic temperatures up to about 200°C. A constant current is maintained through the diode and the voltage across it gives an indication of the temperature. The magnitude of the constant current is typically chosen small to minimize diode self heating. The diode voltage falls linearly with temperature making it necessary to have an operational amplifier conditioning circuit for direct readout. Output calibration is achieved using a voltage reference. Design by R.O. Ocaya, University of the Free State, Phuthaditjhaba, South Africa

Paralleling Rms Converters Speeds Settling - 05/11/94 EDN Design Ideas: An rms-to-dc converter requires an output lowpass filter, which sometimes leads to overly long settling times. Paralleling two converters reduces the circuit's settling time signal without increasing conversion errors Fig 1.
