Achieving 0.1% gain accuracy and 0.02% linearity with only one external capacitor, it eliminates the complexity and drift of traditional log-antilog converters. The 155 \u00b5A supply current, differential input, and constant 800 kHz bandwidth make it ideal for true RMS multimeters, power monitoring, and vibration measurement in portable and industrial instruments.","working_principle":"The LTC1966 uses a patented delta-sigma (\u2206\u03a3) computational technique to perform true RMS-to-DC conversion. Unlike traditional log-antilog converters that compute Vrms = anti-log(avg(log\u00b2(Vin))), the LTC1966 uses a \u2206\u03a3 modulator to square the input signal, then averages the squared output through an external capacitor, and finally takes the square root via a \u2206\u03a3 demodulator circuit. This approach provides exceptional linearity (0.02%) and accuracy (0.1%) without the temperature sensitivity and matching requirements of log-antilog circuits. The external averaging capacitor (typically 1 \u00b5F) sets the low-frequency cutoff, while the bandwidth remains constant at 800 kHz regardless of input amplitude. The separate VOUTRTN pin allows the DC output to be referenced to any voltage within the supply rails.","pin_description":"<table>\n<tr><th>Pin<\/th><th>Name<\/th><th>Type<\/th><th>Function<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>1<\/td><td>VDD<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Positive supply (2.7-5.5V)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>2<\/td><td>VIN2<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Differential input negative terminal<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>3<\/td><td>VIN1<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Differential input positive terminal<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>4<\/td><td>VSS<\/td><td>Power<\/td><td>Negative supply \/ ground (0V for single supply)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>5<\/td><td>ENABLE<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Shutdown control (LOW = shutdown, HIGH = active)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>6<\/td><td>CAVE<\/td><td>I\/O<\/td><td>Averaging capacitor connection (1\u00b5F typical)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>7<\/td><td>VOUTRTN<\/td><td>Input<\/td><td>Output reference pin (output DC level shift)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>8<\/td><td>VOUT<\/td><td>Output<\/td><td>RMS-converted DC output voltage<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>","application_scenarios":"<ul>\n<li>True RMS digital multimeters and handheld panel meters<\/li>\n<li>True RMS AC+DC power line voltage and current monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Vibration and rumble monitoring for industrial equipment<\/li>\n<li>Audio level measurement, compression, and VU metering<\/li>\n<li>Battery-powered portable instrumentation<\/li>\n<\/ul>","alternative_models":"<table>\n<tr><th>Manufacturer<\/th><th>Part Number<\/th><th>Package<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr>\n<tr><td>ADI<\/td><td>LTC1967CMS8#PBF<\/td><td>MSOP-8<\/td><td>Higher bandwidth (4MHz), 0.1% accuracy<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>ADI<\/td><td>LTC1968CMS8#PBF<\/td><td>MSOP-8<\/td><td>Even higher bandwidth (8MHz), faster response<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>ADI<\/td><td>AD736JRZ<\/td><td>DIP-8\/SOIC-8<\/td><td>Traditional RMS-DC, lower cost, lower accuracy<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Microchip<\/td><td>MCP3901<\/td><td>SSOP-24<\/td><td>Energy metering IC with RMS computation<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>ADI<\/td><td>LTC1966CMS8#PBF<\/td><td>MSOP-8<\/td><td>Commercial temp (0-70\u00b0C), lower cost<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6660\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6660"},{"taxonomy":"chip_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/materialparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chip_brand?post=6660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
