Description
The THAT 2252 integrated-circuit rms-level detec-
tor 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. Based on dbx technology and fab-
ricated in a super low-noise process, the 2252 com-
bines wide dynamic range with frequency response
to beyond 20 kHz. The logarithmic output is espe-
cially convenient for audio applications requiring
decibel-linear scaling. The integration time is ad-
justable via an external R/C pair. With some exter-
nal circuitry, response to dc is also possible.
