Abstract :
Translinear or log-domain filters are theoretically exact realisations of linear differential equations. However, the dynamical translinear principle can also be applied to the implementation of nonlinear differential equations. In this paper, an RMS-DC converter is proposed, comprising a direct implementation of the corresponding nonlinear differential equation by means of the dynamical translinear principle. Correct operation of the circuit was verified through measurements.
