I have used this IC AD8436 for my application. I have connected the IC in the dual supply configuration as per given in the data sheet. Now, the problem is that I am not getting output at OUT pin in the IC
My inputs are:
Supply : +15 and -15V
Input signal : 200mV, 26Hz signal
What can be the possible reasons, or there is any pin to turn ON the RMS core part of the IC.
Hi Gilbeys,
I got stuck at this phase of development. As already explained, i am getting the output from Input buffer that is at pin no. 4 of the IC. After that this pin connected to RMS core input through series capacitor of value 4.7 uF/ 25V. This capacitor is of ceramic/non-polar category. Whether, polar capacitors are mandatory for this stage?
Even, i have also used non-polar/ceramic capacitor for CAVG i.e. 10 uF/25V also. Whether here also polar capacitor is mandatory, please confirm.
How can i verify that IC RMS core is working correct? If required, i can share the input, output waveforms found at each stage.
Your recommendation will be a great help.
