By the looks of it, it might be AD8436 True RMS converter chip. Some of the multimeter chips have built in low bandwidth RMS converters, for low cost options, with option to add external higher performance RMS converter for better specced meters.
Here we might have the same situation..

Yes, that was what I thought when I first saw it, but have not checked as I don't have a 789.

Hey Dave,

Thank you so much for getting the meter out, it arrived in the US in 3 days. 

Interestingly, the three AAA batteries arrived with the meter, so no issue with DHL. They also improve the delivery date by 3 days, a pleasant surprise as we are expecting another snowstorm this weekend.

Did some quick measurements against my EDC 522 reference, as well as against my other bench meters with current calibrations, the meter is very accurate, even in the worst case, it is only 1-2 counts off.  First Brymen I own, it is definitely a keeper when I need mobility.  Its accuracy is as good as the handheld Flukes I own, and with higher precision. 

It is a great buy for its price point, not to mention showing support for a community of nice people I enjoy.

Dave,
     I just got my BM235 from Amazon and my BM786  just 24 hours apart. Gotta say that I love them both!  The features they both have are really nice and I esp. love the idea that I can't mess it up if I plug the probes into the wrong sockets.  VERY VERY nice idea!  Being in school at DeVry University and for my hobby work, these will come in VERY handy!   :-+ :-+ :-+ :-+

I love this no bull shit package!

Every engineer has to spent half of the work time to naming the schametic net or value in code!

Less is more.

2 things...I have a rag tag collection of things that measure Non-Contact Voltage but this BM786 is the best. Hands down. Better than anything I've ever used. Finally! no more sawing through hidden live power wires behind the walls:-)

2nd) Continuity beep is not the fastest. Wish it was.

3rd) They did not cheap out on the leads. Good stuff.

Thanks Dave!!!!
