THAT2252  RMS Level Detector

 

The THAT 2252 integrated-circuit RMS level detector is designed to convert an AC input

current into a DC output voltage. The output is proportional to the log of the true RMS value

of the input signal. The parts are housed in a space-efficient plastic 8-pin single-in-line

(SIP) package, and require minimal support circuitry.

Fabricated in a super low-noise process, the 2252 combines wide dynamic range with

frequency response to beyond 20 kHz. The logarithmic output is especially convenient for

audio applications requiring decibel-linear scaling. The integration time is adjustable via an

external R/C pair. With some external circuitry, response to DC is also possible.

Because the 2252 scales its output voltage logarithmically, it offers a particularly good

match to THAT Corporation Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) ICs such as THAT2180

and THAT2181 Series parts.  We also offer an RMS level detector combined with a VCA

in our THAT4301 Analog Engine® Dynamics Processor.
