How to go for RMS to DC conversion.Any reference?
OPAMP oriented circuit will be preferable.

RE: RMS to DC conversion
there is a cool IC that perfoms RMS to DC conversion. It's from MAXIM ... I don't remember the right number but i believed it was MAX687 or something.... try it at www.max-ic.com.
RE: RMS to DC conversion
If we have a square wave of zero volts to a unipolar peak of "E" volts (typical of much logic circuitry with zero and +5 volts) and some particular duty cycle, the average value of that waveform is E average which equals E times that duty cycle.
Then, having obtained the average, the root mean square voltage, call it E rms, equals E average divided by the square root of that duty cycle.
The average value is easily measured with any DVM and an RC low-pass filter. From that measurement, the RMS value can be calculated.

RE: RMS to DC conversion
covers several different types of RMS to DC converts.
I like the Linear Tech LT1088 heat based device myself.
