LTC1966 - Precision Micropower ΔΣ RMS-to-DC Converter

1 LTC1966 . Precision Micropower RMS-to-DC Converter Features Description n Simple to Use, Requires One Capacitor The LTC 1966 is a true RMS-to-DC Converter that utilizes n True RMS DC Conversion Using Technology an innovative patented computational technique. The n High Accuracy: internal delta sigma circuitry of the LTC1966 makes it sim- Gain Accuracy from 50Hz to 1kHz pler to use, more accurate, lower power and dramatically Total Error from 50Hz to 1kHz more flexible than conventional log antilog RMS-to-DC . n High Linearity: converters. Linearity Allows Simple System Calibration The LTC1966 accepts single-ended or differential input n Low Supply Current: signals (for EMI/RFI rejection) and supports crest factors up 155 A Typ, 170 A Max to 4.

2 Common mode input range is rail-to-rail. Differential n Ultralow Shutdown Current: input range is 1 VPEAK, and offers unprecedented linearity. A Unlike previously available RMS-to-DC converters, the n Constant Bandwidth: superior linearity of the LTC1966 allows hassle free system Independent of Input voltage calibration at any input voltage . 800kHz 3dB, 6kHz 1%. The LTC1966 also has a rail-to-rail output with a separate n Flexible Supplies: output reference pin providing flexible level shifting. The to Single Supply LTC1966 operates on a single power supply from to Up to Dual Supply or dual supplies up to A low power shutdown n Flexible Inputs: mode reduces supply current to A.

3 Differential or Single-Ended Rail-to-Rail Common Mode voltage Range The LTC1966 is insensitive to PC board soldering and Up to 1 VPEAK Differential voltage stresses, as well as operating temperature. The LTC1966 . n Flexible Output: is packaged in the space saving MSOP package which is Rail-to-Rail Output ideal for portable applications. Separate Output reference Pin Allows Level Shifting n Wide Temperature Range: Applications 55 C to 125 C n True RMS Digital Multimeters and Panel Meters n Small Size: n True RMS AC + DC Measurements Space Saving 8-Pin MSOP Package L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and No Latency DS is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
