AD8436ACPZ-R7 概要

The Analog Devices AD8436ACPZ-R7 is a new-generation, translinear precision, low-power true RMS-to-DC converter that delivers a precise DC equivalent of the RMS value of complex AC waveforms, including switch-mode power supply and triac-derived signals. It offers 0.25% (B-grade) or 0.5% of reading accuracy across a wide dynamic input range of 3 mV RMS to 3 V RMS full-scale, with larger inputs supported via external attenuators. The device is housed in a 20-pin LFCSP (4 mm x 4 mm) package with an exposed pad.

A true RMS-to-DC converter is an analog computing block that continuously extracts the root-mean-square energy of an arbitrary AC waveform and presents it as a stable DC voltage proportional to the signal's heating power. Unlike average-responding or peak-responding detectors, true RMS converters correctly measure signals with non-sinusoidal content such as PWM drive outputs, SCR phase-angle waveforms, and switching-converter ripple. The AD8436 belongs to the category hierarchy of RMS-to-DC converter -> AC measurement IC -> data acquisition -> signal chain -> power management specialized IC.

Key features include a 20 MHz bandwidth, sub-100 microsecond settling at high input levels, an on-board output buffer amplifier, and an optional averaging capacitor that lets the user trade ripple versus settling time. The AD8436 also provides a peak-mode/average-mode option, allowing it to deliver average rectified value when required. Operating from a single supply of 4.5 V to 36 V (or dual +/-5 V to +/-18 V), and consuming only 365 microamps of quiescent current, the part is engineered for battery-powered and industrial-grade instrumentation.

Technically, the AD8436 uses a proprietary translinear gain cell and matched monolithic transistor array to compute the implicit square, mean, and square-root functions in a single chip, eliminating the need for an external log-antilog circuit. The on-chip buffer allows direct drive of low-impedance loads, 1 mA or higher, while preserving DC accuracy.

Typical applications include power-line monitoring, switch-mode power supply output sensing, industrial process-control instrumentation, audio amplitude metering, RF transmitter envelope detection, and precision multimeter AC sections. The wide supply range supports 24V industrial bus rails and 48V telecom input monitoring without external regulators.

Designers should note that the on-chip averaging capacitor pin must be paired with the correct external capacitor value to control ripple and settling time. The exposed pad on the LFCSP package must be soldered to a copper pour for thermal dissipation and to achieve the stated bandwidth. This page consolidates distributor pricing, true drop-in alternatives, and design notes that go beyond the manufacturer datasheet to support faster component selection.

選定ガイド

Choose the AD8436ACPZ-R7 when you need accurate true RMS measurement of complex AC waveforms above 1 MHz bandwidth, such as switch-mode power supply outputs, triac-controlled loads, and audio amplifier metering. Its 365 microA quiescent current and 4.5V to 36V single-supply range make it ideal for battery-powered or industrial bus-powered instrumentation. Select the B-grade variant (AD8436BCPZ-R7) when 0.25% accuracy is required for precision metering; select the A-grade (AD8436ACPZ-R7) for general-purpose applications where 0.5% accuracy suffices. Use the AD736ACPZ-R7 instead only when cost is paramount and bandwidth under 460 kHz is acceptable. The LFCSP-20 footprint with exposed pad requires proper PCB thermal design but provides superior electrical ground connection for measurement integrity.

主な差別化要因

  • Higher bandwidth than legacy RMS-to-DC converters (vs AD736ACPZ-R7)
  • Lower quiescent current than competing solutions (vs AD736ACPZ-R7)
  • Wide single-supply operation up to 36V (vs LTC1966CMS8#PBF)

設計ノート

The LFCSP-20 package has an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a copper pour on the PCB. Estimated: at 365 microA quiescent current and 5V supply, internal dissipation is approximately 1.8 mW - thermal management is not a primary concern, but the exposed pad is still required for electrical ground connection and mechanical reliability. Use at least 100 mm^2 of 1 oz copper on inner/outer layers connected to the EP pin.

Place the CAV averaging capacitor as close as possible to pin 6 to minimize parasitic inductance. Use a ceramic capacitor with X7R or C0G dielectric; values from 0.1 microF (fast settling, higher ripple) to 10 microF (slow settling, lower ripple) trade bandwidth against measurement stability. For general-purpose power metering, 1 microF is a typical starting point. Keep the input signal traces short and shielded to avoid pickup of switching noise from adjacent power stages.

Do not exceed the maximum differential input voltage (typically +/-3V for the AD8436 input pins); use an external resistive divider or current-sense transformer for higher voltages. The INLO pin should be tied to COMMON at the IC, not to remote ground, to avoid ground-loop errors. The exposed pad must be electrically connected to VS- (ground), not left floating. For best accuracy at low input levels (under 10 mV RMS), use a shielded input enclosure and clean ground references.

The AD8436's 20 MHz bandwidth means it will respond to RF interference above the measurement bandwidth. Place 10 nF ceramic bypass capacitors on VS+ and VS- as close to the IC as possible. For industrial applications with high EMI environments, consider a small RC low-pass filter (100 ohm + 100 pF) on the INHI pin to roll off interference above 16 MHz. The on-chip buffer isolates the converter cell from output loading, but the buffer input must still be properly bypassed to avoid oscillation.
