Behavioral True RMS to DC Converter

Hi

How would one implement a behavioral true RMS to DC converter circuit in QSPICE?

You can try to do something like this:

I believe you are asking for a behavioral model that can provide the RMS value during simulation. Here is a discussion where @bordodynov provided a circuit idea, which I modified to make it work in .tran even without the UIC option.

However, implementing any statistical calculation involving averaging over a period of time can be tricky. Make sure you understand the discussion and how the formula works before using it, as there may be limitations.

Here is a circuit schematic with formula embedded into a symbol. This symbol can also be found in my Github : Qspice > Symbols > Special > Stat-RealTime.qsym.
