Re: RMS-DC converter AD8436 single supply questions

Hi Emman,

 

I believe this is how it works - please check with an expert.

 

When you say RFBL should terminate into ground - do you mean ground = 0V?  It will not work since the opamp will rail.. (remember it is single supply)

 

If you mean RFBL should terminate into ground = Vcc/2? Then I believe it should work if the input is biased to Vcc/2. But then we are back to my original question that the IGND is not stiff enough...

 

I also have a feeling that you could supply IGND from outside. In the scenario that you have dual supply that are not exactly symmetrical - you will have the same scenario as giving a Vcc/2 voltage to the pin in a single supply situation.

 

(thanks for the capacitor-link, although I don't think RF circuits is the most important aspect here)

 

 

I recommend that you do not answer this unless you are 100% certain of the answers. I believe questions in general are better left unanswered than given misleading information.

 

Best Regards

/John
