Product Overview
The AD536AJDZ from Analog Devices is a monolithic integrated circuit that performs true RMS-to-DC conversion. It computes the true root-mean-square value of any complex input waveform (AC+DC) and provides a DC output voltage equal to the RMS value. Housed in a 14-lead CERDIP package, it offers wide input dynamic range and high accuracy for precision measurement applications.
