GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD637 is a complete, high accuracy, monolithic rms-to-dc The input circuitry of the AD637 is protected from overload
converter that computes the true rms value of any complex voltages in excess of the supply levels. The inputs are not
waveform. It offers performance that is unprecedented in damaged by input signals if the supply voltages are lost.
integrated circuit rms-to-dc converters and comparable to
discrete and modular techniques in accuracy, bandwidth, and The AD637 is available in accuracy Grade J and Grade K for
dynamic range. A crest factor compensation scheme in the commercial temperature range (0
