The LTC1966 also has a rail-to-rail output with a separate
output reference pin providing flexible level shifting. The
LTC1966 operates on a single power supply from 2.7V to
5.5V or dual supplies up to ±5.5V. A low power shutdown
mode reduces supply current to 0.5µA.
The LTC1966 is insensitive to PC board soldering and
stresses, as well as operating temperature. The LTC1966
is packaged in the space saving MSOP package which is
ideal for portable applications.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The inputs (IN1, IN2) are protected by shunt diodes to VSS and
VDD. If the inputs are driven beyond the rails, the current should be limited
to less than 10mA.
Note 3: The LTC1966 output (VOUT) is high impedance and can be
overdriven, either sinking or sourcing current, to the limits stated.
Note 4: The LTC1966C/LTC1966I are guaranteed functional over
the operating temperature range of – 40°C to 85°C. The LTC1966H/
LTC1966MP are guaranteed functional over the operating temperature
range of –55°C to 125°C.
Note 5: The LTC1966C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC1966C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested nor
QA sampled at these temperatures. The LTC1966I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC1966H is guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C. The LTC1966MP is
guaranteed to meet specified performance from –55°C to 125°C.
Note 6: High speed automatic testing cannot be performed with
CAVE = 10µF. The LTC1966 is 100% tested with CAVE = 22nF. Correlation
tests have shown that the performance limits above can be guaranteed
with the additional testing being performed to guarantee proper operation
of all the internal circuitry.
Note 7: High speed automatic testing cannot be performed with 60Hz
inputs. The LTC1966 is 100% tested with DC and 10kHz input signals.
Measurements with DC inputs from 50mV to 350mV are used to calculate
the four parameters: GERR, VOOS, VIOS and linearity error. Correlation tests
have shown that the performance limits above can be guaranteed with the
additional testing being performed to guarantee proper operation of all
internal circuitry.
Note 8: The LTC1966 is inherently very linear. Unlike older log/antilog
circuits, its behavior is the same with DC and AC inputs, and DC inputs are
used for high speed testing.
Note 9: The power supply rejections of the LTC1966 are measured with DC
inputs from 50mV to 350mV. The change in accuracy from VDD = 2.7V to
VDD = 5.5V with VSS = 0V is divided by 2.8V. The change in accuracy from
VSS = 0V to VSS = –5.5V with VDD = 5.5V is divided by 5.5V.
Note 10: Previous generation RMS-to-DC converters required nonlinear
input stages as well as a nonlinear core. Some parts specify a DC reversal
error, combining the effects of input nonlinearity and input offset voltage.
The LTC1966 behavior is simpler to characterize and the input offset
voltage is the only significant source of DC reversal error.

Note 11: High speed automatic testing cannot be performed with 60Hz
inputs. The LTC1966 is 100% tested with DC stimulus. Correlation tests
have shown that the performance limits above can be guaranteed with the
additional testing being performed to verify proper operation of all internal
circuitry.
Note 12: The LTC1966 is a switched capacitor device and the input/
output impedance is an average impedance over many clock cycles. The
input impedance will not necessarily lead to an attenuation of the input
signal measured. Refer to the Applications Information section titled Input
Impedance for more information.
Note 13: The common mode rejection ratios of the LTC1966 are measured
with DC inputs from 50mV to 350mV. The input CMRR is defined as the
change in VIOS measured between input levels of VSS to VSS + 350mV and
input levels of VDD – 350mV to VDD divided by VDD – VSS – 350mV. The
output CMRR is defined as the change in VOOS measured with OUT RTN =
VSS and OUT RTN = VDD – 350mV divided by VDD – VSS – 350mV.
Note 14: Each input of the LTC1966 can withstand any voltage within
the supply range. These inputs are protected with ESD diodes, so going
beyond the supply voltages can damage the part if the absolute maximum
current ratings are exceeded. Likewise for the output pins. The LTC1966
input and output voltage swings are limited by internal clipping. The
maximum differential input of the LTC1966 (referred to as maximum input
swing) is 1V. This applies to either input polarity, so it can be thought of as
±1V. Because the differential input voltage gets processed by the LTC1966
with gain, it is subject to internal clipping. Exceeding the 1V maximum
can, depending on the input crest factor, impact the accuracy of the output
voltage, but does not damage the part. Fortunately, the LTC1966’s ∆∑
topology is relatively tolerant of momentary internal clipping. The input
clipping is tested with a crest factor of 2, while the output clipping is
tested with a DC input.
Note 15: The LTC1966 exploits oversampling and noise shaping to reduce
the quantization noise of internal 1-bit analog-to-digital conversions. At
higher input frequencies, increasingly large portions of this noise are
aliased down to DC. Because the noise is shifted in frequency, it becomes
a low frequency rumble and is only filtered at the expense of increasingly
long settling times. The LTC1966 is inherently wideband, but the output
accuracy is degraded by this aliased noise. These specifications apply with
CAVE = 10µF and constitute a 3-sigma variation of the output rumble.
Note 16: The LTC1966 can operate down to 2.7V single supply but cannot
operate at ±2.7V. This additional constraint on VSS can be expressed
mathematically as – 3 • (VDD – 2.7V) ≤ VSS ≤ Ground.

Pin Functions
GND (Pin 1): Ground. A power return pin.
VSS (Pin 4): Negative Voltage Supply. GND to – 5.5V.
OUT RTN (Pin 6): Output Return. The output voltage is
created relative to this pin. The VOUT and OUT RTN pins
are not balanced and this pin should be tied to a low
impedance, both AC and DC. Although it is typically tied
to GND, it can be tied to any arbitrary voltage, VSS < OUT
RTN < (VDD – Max Output). Best results are obtained when
OUT RTN = GND.
VOUT (Pin 5): Output Voltage. This is high impedance.
The RMS averaging is accomplished with a single shunt
capacitor from this node to OUT RTN. The transfer function is given by:
ENABLE (Pin 8): An Active Low Enable Input. LTC1966
is debiased if open circuited or driven to VDD. For normal
operation, pull to GND, a logic low or even VSS.
IN1 (Pin 2): Differential Input. DC coupled (polarity is
irrelevant).

irrelevant).

RMS-TO-DC CONVERSION
Definition of RMS
RMS amplitude is the consistent, fair and standard way to
measure and compare dynamic signals of all shapes and
sizes. Simply stated, the RMS amplitude is the heating
potential of a dynamic waveform. A 1VRMS AC waveform
will generate the same heat in a resistive load as will 1V DC.

1966 F01
Figure 1
Mathematically, RMS is the root of the mean of the square:
VRMS = V2
Alternatives to RMS
Other ways to quantify dynamic waveforms include peak
detection and average rectification. In both cases, an average (DC) value results, but the value is only accurate at
the one chosen waveform type for which it is calibrated,
typically sine waves. The errors with average rectification
are shown in Table 1. Peak detection is worse in all cases
and is rarely used.
The last two entries of Table 1 are chopped sine waves as
is commonly created with thyristors such as SCRs and
Triacs. Figure 2a shows a typical circuit and Figure 2b
shows the resulting load voltage, switch voltage and load
currents. The power delivered to the load depends on the
firing angle, as well as any parasitic losses such as switch
ON voltage drop. Real circuit waveforms will also typically
have significant ringing at the switching transition, dependent on exact circuit parasitics. For the purposes of this
data sheet, SCR waveforms refers to the ideal chopped
sine wave, though the LTC1966 will do faithful RMS-to-DC
conversion with real SCR waveforms as well.
The case shown is for Θ = 90°, which corresponds to 50%
of available power being delivered to the load. As noted in
Table 1, when Θ = 114°, only 25% of the available power
is being delivered to the load and the power drops quickly
as Θ approaches 180°.
With an average rectification scheme and the typical
calibration to compensate for errors with sine waves, the
RMS level of an input sine wave is properly reported; it
is only with a nonsinusoidal waveform that errors occur.
Because of this calibration, and the output reading in
VRMS, the term true RMS got coined to denote the use of
an actual RMS-to-DC converter as opposed to a calibrated
average rectifier.

How an RMS-to-DC Converter Works
How the LTC1966 RMS-to-DC Converter Works
Monolithic RMS-to-DC converters use an implicit computation to calculate the RMS value of an input signal.
The fundamental building block is an analog multiply/
divide used as shown in Figure 3. Analysis of this topology is easy and starts by identifying the inputs and the
output of the lowpass filter. The input to the LPF is the
calculation from the multiplier/divider; (VIN)2/VOUT. The
lowpass filter will take the average of this to create the
output, mathematically:
The LTC1966 uses a completely new topology for RMSto-DC conversion, in which a ∆Σ modulator acts as the
divider, and a simple polarity switch is used as the multiplier
as shown in Figure 4.

The ∆Σ modulator has a single-bit output whose average
duty cycle (D) will be proportional to the ratio of the input
signal divided by the output. The ∆Σ is a 2nd order modulator with excellent linearity. The single bit output is used to
selectively buffer or invert the input signal. Again, this is a
circuit with excellent linearity, because it operates at only
two points: ±1 gain; the average effective multiplication
over time will be on the straight line between these two
points. The combination of these two elements again creates
a lowpass filter input signal proportional to (VIN)2/VOUT,
which, as shown above, results in RMS-to-DC conversion.

Figure 3. RMS-to-DC Converter with Implicit Computation
Unlike the prior generation RMS-to-DC converters, the
LTC1966 computation does NOT use log/antilog circuits,
which have all the same problems, and more, of log/antilog
multipliers/dividers, i.e., linearity is poor, the bandwidth
changes with the signal amplitude and the gain drifts with
temperature.
The lowpass filter performs the averaging of the RMS
function and must be a lower corner frequency than the
lowest frequency of interest. For line frequency measurements, this filter is simply too large to implement on-chip,
but the LTC1966 needs only one capacitor on the output
to implement the lowpass filter. The user can select this
capacitor depending on frequency range and settling time
requirements, as will be covered in the Design Cookbook
section to follow.
This topology is inherently more stable and linear than
log/antilog implementations primarily because all of the
signal processing occurs in circuits with high gain op amps
operating closed loop.

LTC1966
Applications Information
More detail of the LTC1966 inner workings is shown in
the Simplified Schematic towards the end of this data
sheet. Note that the internal scalings are such that the ∆Σ
output duty cycle is limited to 0% or 100% only when VIN
exceeds ± 4 • VOUT.
Linearity of an RMS-to-DC Converter
Linearity may seem like an odd property for a device that
implements a function that includes two very nonlinear
processes: squaring and square rooting.
However, an RMS-to-DC converter has a transfer function,
RMS volts in to DC volts out, that should ideally have a
1:1 transfer function. To the extent that the input to output
transfer function does not lie on a straight line, the part
is nonlinear.
A more complete look at linearity uses the simple model
shown in Figure 5. Here an ideal RMS core is corrupted by
both input circuitry and output circuitry that have imperfect
transfer functions. As noted, input offset is introduced in
the input circuitry, while output offset is introduced in the
output circuitry.
Any nonlinearity that occurs in the output circuity will corrupt the RMS in to DC out transfer function. A nonlinearity
in the input circuitry will typically corrupt that transfer
function far less, simply because with an AC input, the
RMS-to-DC conversion will average the nonlinearity from
a whole range of input values together.
INPUT
INPUT CIRCUITRY
• VIOS
• INPUT NONLINEARITY
But the input nonlinearity will still cause problems in an
RMS-to-DC converter because it will corrupt the accuracy
as the input signal shape changes. Although an RMS-to-DC
converter will convert any input waveform to a DC output,
the accuracy is not necessarily as good for all waveforms
as it is with sine waves. A common way to describe dynamic signal wave shapes is crest factor. The crest factor
is the ratio of the peak value relative to the RMS value of
a waveform. A signal with a crest factor of 4, for instance,
has a peak that is four times its RMS value. Because this
peak has energy (proportional to voltage squared) that is
16 times (42) the energy of the RMS value, the peak is
necessarily present for at most 6.25% (1/16) of the time.
The LTC1966 performs very well with crest factors of 4
or less and will respond with reduced accuracy to signals
with higher crest factors. The high performance with crest
factors less than 4 is directly attributable to the high linearity throughout the LTC1966.
The LTC1966 does not require an input rectifier, as is common with traditional log/antilog RMS-to-DC converters.
Thus, the LTC1966 has none of the nonlinearities that are
introduced by rectification.
The excellent linearity of the LTC1966 allows calibration to
be highly effective at reducing system errors. See System
Calibration section following the Design Cookbook.

LTC1966
Applications Information
The LTC1966 RMS-to-DC converter makes it easy to
implement a rather quirky function. For many applications
all that will be needed is a single capacitor for averaging,
appropriate selection of the I/O connections and power
supply bypassing. Of course, the LTC1966 also requires
power. A wide variety of power supply configurations are
shown in the Typical Applications section towards the end
of this data sheet.
Capacitor Value Selection
The RMS or root-mean-squared value of a signal, the root
of the mean of the square, cannot be computed without
some averaging to obtain the mean function. The LTC1966
true RMS-to-DC converter utilizes a single capacitor on
the output to do the low frequency averaging required for
RMS-to-DC conversion. To give an accurate measure of a
dynamic waveform, the averaging must take place over a
sufficiently long interval to average, rather than track, the
lowest frequency signals of interest. For a single averaging capacitor, the accuracy at low frequencies is depicted
in Figure 6.
However, if the output is examined on an oscilloscope
with a very low frequency input, the incomplete averaging will be seen, and this ripple will be larger than the
error depicted in Figure 6. Such an output is depicted in
Figure 7. The ripple is at twice the frequency of the input
because of the computation of the square of the input.
The typical values shown, 5% peak ripple with 0.05% DC
error, occur with CAVE = 1µF and fINPUT = 10Hz.
If the application calls for the output of the LTC1966 to feed
a sampling or Nyquist A/D converter (or other circuitry that
will not average out this double frequency ripple) a larger
averaging capacitor can be used. This trade-off is depicted
in Figure 8. The peak ripple error can also be reduced by
additional lowpass filtering after the LTC1966, but the
simplest solution is to use a larger averaging capacitor.
1This
frequency dependent error is in addition to the static errors that affect all readings and are
therefore easy to trim or calibrate out. The Error Analyses section to follow discusses the effect
of static error terms.

Figure 8. Peak Error vs Input Frequency with One Cap Averaging
A 1µF capacitor is a good choice for many applications.
The peak error at 50Hz/60Hz will be 10kHz inputs.
– This is a fundamental characteristic of this topology. The LTC1966 is designed to work very well
with inputs of 1kHz or less. It works okay as high
as 1MHz, but it is limited by aliased ∆Σ noise.
Solution: Bandwidth limit the input or digitally filter
the resulting output.
8. Large errors occur at crest factors approaching, but
less than 4.
– Insufficient averaging.
Solution: Increase CAVE. See Crest Factor and AC + DC
Waveforms section for discussion of output droop.
10. Gain is low by ≅1% or more, no other problems.
– Probably due to circuit loading. With a DMM or
a 10× scope probe, ZIN = 10MΩ. The LTC1966
output is 85kΩ, resulting in – 0.85% gain error.
Output impedance is higher with the DC accurate
post filter.
Solution: Remove the shunt loading or buffer the
output.
– Loading can also be caused by cheap averaging
capacitors.
Solution: Use a high quality metal film capacitor
for CAVE.
9. Screwy results, errors > spec limits, typically 1% to 5%.
– High impedance (85kΩ) and high accuracy (0.1%)
require clean boards! Flux residue, finger grime, etc.
all wreak havoc at this level.
LOADING DRAGS DOWN GAIN
Solution: Wash the board.

significantly through the use of guard traces.
