Abstract :
In this paper a new current-mode true RMS-DC converter based on a two-quadrant squarer/divider is presented. The circuit employs MOSFETs that operate in strong inverted saturation region performing electronically simulated translinear loop. The converter features very low supply voltage (1.2 V), immune from body effect, two-quadrant input current, large dynamic range, and low circuit complexity. Simulation results by Hspice show high performance of the circuit and confirm the validity of the proposed design technique.
