AD637JRZ

Analog Devices · RMS To DC Converters · SOIC-16-300mil

AD637JRZ from Analog Devices, in a SOIC-16-300mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating.
2 CAV passive Averaging capacitor connection. External capacitor sets the averaging time constant of the rms computation.
3 -VS power_in Negative supply voltage. Typically -3 V to -18 V.
4 COM power_in Common (analog ground) return.
5 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating.
6 BUF IN input Buffer amplifier input. High impedance input to the on-chip buffer amplifier, typically used for post-filtering or as an input buffer.
7 dB OUT output Logarithmic (dB) output. Provides an output proportional to the log of the rms input, useful for wide dynamic range measurements.
8 BUF OUT output Buffer amplifier output. Low impedance output of the on-chip buffer amplifier.
9 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating.
10 OUTPUT OFFSET input Output offset trim. Connect to a potentiometer between +VS and -VS to null the output offset voltage.
11 OUTPUT output RMS output. Provides the true rms (or mean square / absolute value depending on configuration) of the input signal.
12 SUMMING JUNCTION input Summing junction of the output amplifier. Access for external feedback and gain-setting resistors.
13 +VS power_in Positive supply voltage. Typically +3 V to +18 V.
14 dB COMMON passive dB output common. Reference/return pin for the dB output scaling network.
15 INPUT input Signal input to the RMS converter. Accepts AC signals up to the specified bandwidth; typically 1 V rms full scale.
16 NC unconnected No connect. Leave floating.
