LTC1967
Precision Extended
Bandwidth, RMS-to-DC Converter
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
1967 is a true RMS-to-DC converter that uses an
innovative delta-sigma computational technique. The ben-
efits of the LTC1967 proprietary architecture when com-
pared to conventional log-antilog RMS-to-DC converters
are higher linearity and accuracy, bandwidth independent
of amplitude and improved temperature behavior.
The LTC1967 operates with single-ended or differential in-
put signals (for EMI/RFI rejection) and supports crest fac-
tors up to 4. Common mode input range is rail-to-rail. Dif-
ferential input range is 1V
PEAK
, and offers unprecedented
linearity. The LTC1967 allows hassle-free system calibra-
tion at any input voltage.
The LTC1967 has a rail-to-rail output with a separate out-
put reference pin providing flexible level shifting; it oper-
ates on a single power supply from 4.5V to 5.5V. A low power
shutdown mode reduces supply current to 0.1µA.
The LTC1967 is packaged in the space-saving MSOP pack-
age, which is ideal for portable applications.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The inputs (IN1, IN2) are protected by shunt diodes to GND and
V
+
. If the inputs are driven beyond the rails, the current should be limited
to less than 10mA.
Note 3:
The LTC1967 output (V
OUT
) is high impedance and can be
overdriven, either sinking or sourcing current, to the limits stated.
Note 4:
The LTC1967C/LTC1967I are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range of – 40°C to 85°C.
Note 5:
The LTC1967C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC1967C 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 LTC1967I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from – 40°C to 85°C.
Note 6:
High speed automatic testing cannot be performed with
C
AVE
= 10µF. The LTC1967 is 100% tested with C
AVE
= 47nF. Correlation
tests have shown that the performance limits 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 LTC1967 is 100% tested with DC and 10kHz input signals.
Measurements with DC inputs from 50mV to 350mV are used to calculate
the four parameters: G
ERR
, V
OOS
, V
IOS
and linearity error. Correlation tests
have shown that the performance limits can be guaranteed with the
additional testing being performed to guarantee proper operation of all
internal circuitry.
Note 8:
The LTC1967 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 LTC1967 are measured with
DC inputs from 50mV to 350mV. The change in accuracy from V
+
= 4.5V
to V
+
= 5.5V is divided by 1V.
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 LTC1967 behavior is simpler to characterize and the input offset
voltage is the only significant source of “DC reversal error.”
Note 11:
Guaranteed by design.
Note 12:
The LTC1967 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.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 13:
The common mode rejection ratios of the LTC1967 are measured
with DC inputs from 50mV to 350mV. The input CMRR is defined as the
change in V
IOS
measured between input levels of 0V to 350mV and input
levels of V
+
– 350mV to V
+
divided by V
+
– 350mV. The output CMRR is
defined as the change in V
OOS
measured with OUT RTN = 0V and OUT RTN
= V
+
– 350mV divided by V
+
– 350mV.
Note 14:
The LTC1967 input and output voltage swings are limited by
internal clipping. However, its
∆Σ
topology is relatively tolerant of
momentary internal clipping.
Note 15:
The LTC1967 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 LTC1967 is inherently wideband, but the output
accuracy is degraded by this aliased noise.
