PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  
The AD737 allows the choice of two signal input terminals: a  
high impedance (1012 ) FET input which will directly interface  
with high Z input attenuators and a low impedance (8 k) input  
which 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 may be used either singly or differentially.  
The AD737 is a low power, precision, monolithic true rms-to-dc  
converter. It is laser trimmed to provide a maximum error of  
±0.2 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 physical  
size of this converter make it suitable for upgrading the per-  
formance of non-rms “precision rectifiers” in many applications.  
Compared to these circuits, the AD737 offers higher accuracy at  
equal or lower cost.  
The AD737 achieves a 1% of reading error bandwidth exceed-  
ing 10 kHz for input amplitudes from 20 mV rms to 200 mV  
rms while consuming only 0.72 mW.  
The AD737 is available in four performance grades. The  
AD737J and AD737K grades are rated over the commercial  
temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The AD737A and AD737B  
grades are rated over the industrial temperature range of –40°C  
to +85°C.  
The AD737 can compute the rms value of both ac and dc input  
voltages. It can also be operated ac coupled by adding one ex-  
ternal capacitor. In this mode, the AD737 can resolve input sig-  
nal 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 (while introducing only 2.5%  
additional error) at the 200 mV full-scale input level.  
The AD737 is available in three low-cost, 8-lead packages: plas-  
tic DIP, plastic SO and hermetic cerdip.  
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS  
1. The AD737 is capable of computing the average rectified  
value, absolute value or true rms value of various input  
signals.  
The AD737 has no output buffer amplifier, thereby significantly  
reducing dc offset errors occuring at the output. This allows the  
device to be highly compatible with high input impedance A/D  
converters.  
2. Only one external component, an averaging capacitor, is  
required for the AD737 to perform true rms measurement.  
Requiring only 160 µA of power supply current, the AD737 is  
optimized for use in portable multimeters and other battery  
powered applications. This converter also provides a “power  
down” feature which reduces the power supply standby current  
to less than 30 µA.  
3. The low power consumption of 0.72 mW makes the AD737  
suitable for many battery powered applications.

CALCULATING SETTLING TIME USING FIGURE 14  
The graph of Figure 14 may be used to closely approximate the  
time required for the AD737 to settle when its input level is re-  
duced in amplitude. The net time required for the rms converter  
to settle will be the difference between two times extracted from  
the graph – the initial time minus the final settling time. As an  
example, consider the following conditions: a 33 µF averaging  
capacitor, an initial rms input level of 100 mV and a final (re-  
duced) input level of 1 mV. From Figure 14, the initial settling  
time (where the 100 mV line intersects the 33 µF line) is around  
80 ms. The settling time corresponding to the new or final input  
level of 1 mV is approximately 8 seconds. Therefore, the net  
time for the circuit to settle to its new value will be 8 seconds  
minus 80 ms which is 7.92 seconds. Note that, because of the  
smooth decay characteristic inherent with a capacitor/diode  
combination, this is the total settling time to the final value (i.e.,  
not the settling time to 1%, 0.1%, etc., of final value). Also, this  
graph provides the worst case settling time, since the AD737  
will settle very quickly with increasing input levels.  
The AD737 is capable of measuring ac signals by operating as  
either an average responding or a true rms-to-de converter. As  
its name implies, an average responding converter computes the  
average absolute value of an ac (or ac and dc) voltage or current  
by full wave rectifying and low-pass filtering the input signal;  
this will approximate the average. The resulting output, a dc  
“average” level, is then scaled by adding (or reducing) gain; this  
scale factor converts the dc average reading to an rms equivalent  
value for the waveform being measured. For example, the aver-  
age absolute value of a sine-wave voltage is 0.636 that of VPEAK  
the corresponding rms value is 0.707 times VPEAK. Therefore,  
for sine-wave voltages, the required scale factor is 1.11 (0.707  
divided by 0.636).  
;
In contrast to measuring the “average” value, true rms measure-  
ment is a “universal language” among waveforms, allowing the  
magnitudes of all types of voltage (or current) waveforms to be  
compared to one another and to dc. RMS is a direct measure of  
the power or heating value of an ac voltage compared to that of  
dc: an ac signal of 1 volt rms will produce the same amount of  
heat in a resistor as a 1 volt dc signal.

Mathematically, the rms value of a voltage is defined (using a  
simplified equation) as:  
input (Pin 1). The high impedance input, with its low input  
bias current, is well suited for use with high impedance input  
attenuators. The input signal may be either dc or ac coupled  
to the input amplifier. Unlike other rms converters, the AD737  
permits both direct and indirect ac coupling of the inputs. AC  
coupling is provided by placing a series capacitor between the  
input signal and Pin 2 (or Pin 1) for direct coupling and  
between Pin 1 and ground (while driving Pin 2) for indirect  
coupling.  
The output of the input amplifier drives a full-wave precision  
rectifier, which in turn, drives the rms core. It is in the core that  
the essential rms operations of squaring, averaging and square  
rooting are performed, using an external averaging capacitor,  
CAV. Without CAV, the rectified input signal travels through the  
core unprocessed, as is done with the average responding con-  
nection (Figure 17).  
V rms = Avg.(V 2 )  
This involves squaring the signal, taking the average, and then  
obtaining the square root. True rms converters are “smart recti-  
fiers”: they provide an accurate rms reading regardless of the  
type of waveform being measured. However, average responding  
converters can exhibit very high errors when their input signals  
deviate from their precalibrated waveform; the magnitude of the  
error will depend upon the type of waveform being measured.  
As an example, if an average responding converter is calibrated  
to measure the rms value of sine-wave voltages, and then is used  
to measure either symmetrical square waves or de voltages, the  
converter will have a computational error 11% (of reading)  
higher than the true rms value (see Table I).  
A final subsection, the bias section, permits a “power down”  
function. This reduces the idle current of the AD737 from 160  
µA down to a mere 30 µA. This feature is selected by tying Pin  
3 to the +VS terminal. In the average responding connection, all  
of the averaging is carried out by an RC post filter consisting of  
an 8 kinternal scale-factor resistor connected between Pins 6  
and 8 and an external averaging capacitor, CF. In the rms cir-  
cuit, this additional filtering stage helps reduce any output  
AD737 THEORY OF OPERATION  
As shown by Figure 16, the AD737 has four functional subsec-  
tions: input amplifier, full-wave rectifier, rms core and bias sec-  
tions. The FET input amplifier allows both a high impedance,  
buffered input (Pin 2) or a low impedance, wide-dynamic-range

fied input signal during rms computation, its value directly af-  
fects the accuracy of the rms measurement, especially at low  
frequencies. Furthermore, because the averaging capacitor ap-  
pears across a diode in the rms core, the averaging time con-  
stant will increase exponentially as the input signal is reduced.  
This means that as the input level decreases, errors due to  
nonideal averaging will reduce while the time it takes for the cir-  
cuit to settle to the new rms level will increase. Therefore, lower  
input levels allow the circuit to perform better (due to increased  
averaging) but increase the waiting time between measure-  
ments. Obviously, when selecting CAV, a trade-off between  
computational accuracy and settling time is required.

RAPID SETTLING TIMES VIA THE AVERAGE  
RESPONDING CONNECTION (FIGURE 17)  
Because the average responding connection does not use an av-  
eraging capacitor, its settling time does not vary with input sig-  
nal level; it is determined solely by the RC time constant of CF  
and the internal 8 koutput scaling resistor.  
AC MEASUREMENT ACCURACY AND CREST FACTOR  
The crest factor of the input waveform is often overlooked when  
determining the accuracy of an ac measurement. Crest factor is  
defined as the ratio of the peak signal amplitude to the rms am-  
plitude (C.F. = VPEAK/V rms). Many common waveforms, such  
as sine and triangle waves, have relatively low crest factors (2).  
Other waveforms, such as low duty cycle pulse trains and SCR  
waveforms, have high crest factors. These types of waveforms  
require a long averaging time constant (to average out the long  
time periods between pulses). Figure 6 shows the additional er-  
ror vs. crest factor of the AD737 for various values of CAV  
.

Figure 18 shows the typical output waveform of the AD737 with  
a sine-wave input voltage applied. As with all real-world devices,  
the ideal output of VOUT = VIN is never exactly achieved; in-  
stead, the output contains both a dc and an ac error component.

As shown, the dc error is the difference between the average of  
the output signal (when all the ripple in the output has been  
removed by external filtering) and the ideal dc output. The dc  
error component is therefore set solely by the value of averag-  
ing capacitor used–no amount of post filtering (i.e., using a  
very large CF) will allow the output voltage to equal its ideal  
value. The ac error component, an output ripple, may be easily  
removed by using a large enough post filtering capacitor, CF.  
* Settling time is specified over the stated rms input level with the input signal increasing  
from zero. Settling times will be greater for decreasing amplitude input signals.  
The input coupling capacitor, CC, in conjunction with the 8 kΩ  
internal input scaling resistor, determine the –3 dB low fre-  
quency rolloff. This frequency, FL, is equal to:  
1
FL  
=
2π(8,000)(TheValue of CC in Farads )  
In most cases, the combined magnitudes of both the dc and ac error  
components need to be considered when selecting appropriate values  
for capacitors CAV and CF. This combined error, representing the  
maximum uncertainty of the measurement is termed the “averaging  
error” and is equal to the peak value of the output ripple plus the dc  
error. As the input frequency increases, both error components de-  
crease rapidly: if the input frequency doubles, the dc error and ripple  
reduce to 1/4 and 1/2 their original values, respectively, and rapidly  
become insignificant.  
Note that at FL, the amplitude error will be approximately –30%  
(–3 dB) of reading. To reduce this error to 0.5% of reading,  
choose a value of CC that sets FL at one tenth the lowest fre-  
quency to be measured.  
In addition, if the input voltage has more than 100 mV of dc  
offset, than the ac coupling network at Pin 2 should be used in  
addition to capacitor CC.
