  • Page 2: Instrument Overview

    1) What is it ? The ERMSDCV2 is a small box that includes some very useful functions for electronics design and test, especially in audio domain. It's main function is a precise wide bandwidth RMS voltmeter. The RMS conversion is performed using state of the art RMS to DC converter IC, the LTC1968 from Linear Technology.
  • Page 3: Front Panel Description

    2.2) Front panel description (1) Input coupling switch: The input coupling switch allow to select the type of voltage measurement. In “AC” mode, only RMS value of the AC part is computed. In “AC+DC” mode, it's the RMS value of the AC and DC part of the input voltage that is computed. (2) RMS and logarithmic voltmeter input: This is the common input of the RMS and Logarithmic voltmeter(BNC female connector).
  • Page 4: Rear Panel Description

    The input voltage can be between +/-7V to +/-12V. The required minimum current for each rail is about 150mA. It is recommended to use clean power supply for proper operation of the ERMSDCV2, especially for the LNA section that is noise sensitive. For this reason, switching mode power supplies (SMPS) should be avoided.
  • Page 5: Rms/Dc And Log Voltmeter Operation

    The application note AN83 from Linear Technology describing the test procedure with low noise amplifier can be read for further information. The ERMSDCV2 is widely inspired from various schematics published in LT Applications notes. The LNA can work together with the RMS/LOG voltmeter. The LNA output has to be connected to the RMS input.
