THE RMS COMPUTING LOOP
The RMS section of the SSM-211 0 consists of an implicit RMS
computing loop whose output follows the equation:
10 '" IIN2
10
where 10 is the average of 10
The time constant for averaging is determined by the value of
the averaging capCRMS (on pin 13) and an internal resistor whose
effective value is 1O.8ka. A very low leakage capacitor must be
used for CAMSto prevent limiting the dynamic range.
Increasing the value of CAMSwill result in lower levels of ripple on
the RMS Output at the expense of an increase in settling time for
a step change in the input signal amplitude. This is a proportional
relationship where increasing the value of CAMStenfold results in
a tenfold increase in the settling time.
Forthe circuit in Figure 1, the peak-to-peak ripple approximately
follows the equation:
- VRIPPlE(p-p) =
212 x VRMS

The settling time ofthe SSM-2110 also depends on the frequency
of the signal being processed. It takes approximately 1OOmsfor
a 30°I-lAp-p, 50Hz signal to settle within 0.1 % when CAMS'" 1~F,
and it takes 10ms for a 500Hz signal to settle within the same
value. The general rule is a tenfold increase in frequency causes
a tenfold reduction in settling time. The settling time also varies
with the amplitude of the signal. The larger the signa! level the
faster the settling time.
