ABSTRACT:
An analog multiplier realizing drastically enlarged input voltage ranges with good linearity, low-voltage operation, and transconductance characteristics adjustment. This multiplier contains a first squarer applied differentially with first and second input signals in opposite phases, and a second squarer applied differentially with said first and second input signals in the same phase. Each of squarers is realized by a bipolar or MOS triple-tail cell including first, second and third transistors whose emitter or sources are coupled together and driven by a single tail current. Bases or gates of the first and second transistors form input ends of the squarer. Collectors or drains of the first and second transistors are coupled together to form one of output ends of the squarer. A collector or drain of the third transistor form the other thereof. A base or gate of the third transistor forms an input end to be applied with a bias signal. The transconductance varies dependent upon the applied bias voltage.
