AD8436是新一代精密跨导线性、低功耗、真RMS-TO-DC
converter，可以载入多种选项。它可以精确计算RMS值交流波形的直流等效值，包括由开关模式电源供电和三端双向可控硅控制的复杂模式。其精度可满足宽阔的输入电平（见图2）和温度范围。凭借最新的ADI公司技术，可确保≤±0.25%的精度以及≤10 μV的输出失调。CF ≤ 10时的波峰因数误差The AD8436 provides true RMS results at a lower cost than misleading peak, mean, or digital solutions. With no programming costs or processor overhead, the 4 mm x 4 mm package easily fits into space-constrained applications. On-chip buffer amplifiers offer the widest range of options to fit all RMS-TO-DC converters regardless of cost. The lowest-cost applications require only one external averaging capacitor. The built-in high-impedance FET buffer provides an interface that can be used for external attenuators, frequency compensation, or to drive low-impedance loads. It has a pair of matching internal resistors that make it easy to achieve a gain configuration of 2 or more, and the available input range can be extended to a lower level. The AD8436 features a low-power precision input buffer, making it ideal for portable multimeters and other battery-powered applications.
由于消除了内部偏置电流，驱动低阻抗负载时，精密直流输出缓冲器可提供极低的失调电压，将误差降至最小。AD8436不同于数字解决方案，它在高低幅度时性能均不会受开关电路的限制（见图2）。它能够响应3 V的情况，扩展了动态范围，无需外部调整，并且可以适应严苛的低电平信号条件，支持很宽的超量程而不会箝位。
The AD8436 is available from a single or dual supply and ranges from ±2.4 V (4.8 V) to ±18 V (36 V). Grades A and J are available in a compact 20-pin 4 mm x 4 mm chip-scale package; Grades A and B are also available in 20-pin QSOP packages. There are two operating temperature ranges: −40°C to 125°C for Class A and B, and 0°C to 70°C for Class J.
