RMS-to-DC Application Guide Second Edition, 1986

RMS-to-DC Application Guide, Second Edition, Edited by Dan Sheingold, Analog Devices, 1986.

Even with the proliferation of FPGAs, DSPs, and microprocessors, there are still some functions that can be efficiently performed using analog techniques. RMS-to-DC converters fall into this category, and this book is an excellent treatment of the theory and applications of these devices.
