MC1495
OPERATION AND APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Theory of Operation
The MC1495 is a monolithic, four-quadrant multiplier
which operates on the principle of variable
transconductance. A detailed theory of operation is covered
in Application Note AN489, Analysis and Basic Operation of
the MC1595. The result of this analysis is that the differential
output current of the multiplier is given by:
IA – IB = ∆I =
2VXVY
RXRYI3
where, IA and IB are the currents into Pins 14 and 2,
respectively, and VX and VY are the X and Y input voltages at
the multiplier input terminals.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
General
The MC1495 permits the designer to tailor the multiplier to
a specific application by proper selection of external
components. External components may be selected to
optimize a given parameter (e.g. bandwidth) which may in
turn restrict another parameter (e.g. maximum output voltage
swing). Each important parameter is discussed in detail in the
following paragraphs.
Linearity, Output Error, ERX or ERY
Linearity error is defined as the maximum deviation of
output voltage from a straight line transfer function. It is
expressed as error in percent of full scale (see figure below).
VO
+10 V
3 dB Bandwidth and Phase Shift
Bandwidth is primarily determined by the load resistors
and the stray multiplier output capacitance and/or the
operational amplifier used to level shift the output. If
wideband operation is desired, low value load resistors
and/or a wideband operational amplifier should be used.
Stray output capacitance will depend to a large extent on
circuit layout.
Phase shift in the multiplier circuit results from two
sources: phase shift common to both X and Y channels (due
to the load resistor-output capacitance pole mentioned
above) and relative phase shift between X and Y channels
(due to differences in transadmittance in the X and Y
channels). If the input to output phase shift is only 0.6°, the
output product of two sine waves will exhibit a vector error of
1%. A 3° relative phase shift between VX and VY results in a
vector error of 5%.
Maximum Input Voltage
VX(max), VY(max) input voltages must be such that:
VX(max) <I13 RY
VY(max) <I3 RY
Exceeding this value will drive one side of the input amplifier
to “cutoff” and cause nonlinear operation.
Current I3 and I13 are chosen at a convenient value
(observing power dissipation limitation) between 0.5 mA and
2.0 mA, approximately 1.0 mA. Then RX and RY can be
determined by considering the input signal handling
requirements.
For VX(max) = VY(max) = 10 V;
VE(max)
+10V
Vx or Vy
For example, if the maximum deviation, VE(max), is
±100 mV and the full scale output is 10 V, then the
percentage error is:
V (max)
100 x 10–3 x 100 = ±1.0%.
ER = E
x 100 =
VO(max)
10
Linearity error may be measured by either of the following
methods:
1.Using an X-Y plotter with the circuit shown in Figure 5,
obtain plots for X and Y similar to the one shown above.
2.Use the circuit of Figure 4. This method nulls the level
shifted output of the multiplier with the original input.The
peak output of the null operational amplifier will be equal
to the error voltage, VE (max).
One source of linearity error can arise from large signal
nonlinearity in the X and Y input differential amplifiers. To
avoid introducing error from this source, the emitter
degeneration resistors RX and RY must be chosen large
enough so that nonlinear base-emitter voltage variation can
be ignored. Figures 17 and 18 show the error expected from
this source as a function of the values of RX and RY with an
operating current of 1.0 mA in each side of the differential
amplifiers (i.e., I3 = I13 = 1.0 mA).

Therefore, with RX = RY = 10 kΩ the above assumption is
valid. Reference to Figure 19 will indicate limitations of
VX(max) or VY(max) due to V1 and V7. Exceeding these limits
will cause saturation or “cutoff” of the input transistors. See
Step 4 of General Design Procedure for further details.
Maximum Output Voltage Swing
The maximum output voltage swing is dependent upon the
factors mentioned below and upon the particular circuit being
considered.
For Figure 20 the maximum output swing is dependent
upon V+ for positive swing and upon the voltage at Pin 1 for
negative swing. The potential at Pin 1 determines the
quiescent level for transistors Q5, Q6, Q7 and Q8. This
potential should be related so that negative swing at Pins 2 or
14 does not saturate those transistors. See General Design
Procedure for further information regarding selection of
these potentials.

Selection of component values is best demonstrated by
the following example. Assume resistive dividers are used at
the X and Y-inputs to limit the maximum multiplier input to ±
5.0 V [VX = VY(max)] for a ± 10 V input [VX′ = VY′(max)]
(see Figure 21). If an overall scale factor of 1/10 is desired,

Therefore, K = 4/10 for the multiplier (excluding the divider
network).
Step 1. The fist step is to select current I3 and current I13.
There are no restrictions on the selection of either of these
currents except the power dissipation of the device. I3 and I13
will normally be 1.0 mA or 2.0 mA. Further, I3 does not have
to be equal to I13, and there is normally no need to make
them different. For this example, let

If an operational amplifier is used for level shift, as shown
in Figure 21, the output swing (of the multiplier) is greatly
reduced. See Section 3 for further details.

To set currents I3 and I13 to the desired value, it is only
necessary to connect a resistor between Pin 13 and ground,
and between Pin 3 and ground. From the schematic shown in
Figure 3, it can be seen that the resistor values necessary are
given by:
R13 + 500 Ω =
|V–| –0.7 V
I13
R3 + 500 Ω =
|V–| –0.7 V

voltage. It should also be noticed that the collector voltage of
transistors Q3 and Q4 is at a potential which is two
diode-drops below the voltage at Pin 1. Thus, the voltage at
Pin 1 should be about 2.0 V higher than the maximum input
voltage. Therefore, to handle +5.0 V at the inputs, the voltage
at Pin 1 must be at least +7.0 V. Let V1 = 9.0 Vdc.
Since the current flowing into Pin 1 is always equal to 2I3,
the voltage at Pin 1 can be set by placing a resistor (R1) from
Pin 1 to the positive supply:
R1 =
Let V– = –15 V, then R13 + 500 = 14.3 V or R13 = 13.8 kΩ
1.0 mA
Let R13 = 12 kΩ. Similarly, R3 = 13.8 kΩ, let R3 = 15 kΩ
However, for applications which require an accurate scale
factor, the adjustment of R3 and consequently, I3, offers a
convenient method of making a final trim of the scale factor.
For this reason, as shown in Figure 21, resistor R3 is shown
as a fixed resistor in series with a potentiometer.
For applications not requiring an exact scale factor
(balanced modulator, frequency doubler, AGC amplifier, etc.)
Pins 3 and 13 can be connected together and a single
resistor from Pin 3 to ground can be used. In this case, the
single resistor would have a value of 1/2 the above calculated
value for R13.
Step 2. The next step is to select RX and RY. To insure that
the input transistors will always be active, the following
conditions should be met:
VX
< I13,
RX
VY
< I3
RY
A good rule of thumb is to make I3RY ≥ 1.5 VY(max) and
I13 RX ≥ 1.5 VX(max). The larger the I3RY and I13RX product in
relation to VY and VX respectively, the more accurate the
multiplier will be (see Figures 17 and 18).
Let V+ = 15 V, then R1 =

Thus RL = 20 kΩ.
Step 4. To determine what power supply voltage is
necessary for this application, attention must be given to the
circuit schematic shown in Figure 3. From the circuit
schematic it can be seen that in order to maintain transistors
Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 in an active region when the maximum
input voltages are applied (VX′ = VY′ = 10 V or VX = 5.0 V,
VY = 5.0 V), their respective collector voltage should be at
least a few tenths of a volt higher than the maximum input
MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
15 V –9.0 V
(2) (1.0 mA)
R1 = 3.0 kΩ.
Note that the voltage at the base of transistors Q5, Q6, Q7
and Q8 is one diode-drop below the voltage at Pin 1. Thus, in
order that these transistors stay active, the voltage at Pins 2
and 14 should be approximately halfway between the voltage
at Pin 1 and the positive supply voltage. For this example, the
voltage at Pins 2 and 14 should be approximately 11 V.
Step 5. For dc applications, such as the multiply, divide
and square-root functions, it is usually desirable to convert
the differential output to a single-ended output voltage
referenced to ground. The circuit shown in Figure 22
performs this function. It can be shown that the output voltage
of this circuit is given by:
VO = (I2 –I14) RL
And since IA –IB = I2 –I14 =
2IX IY 2VXVY
=
I3RXRY
I3
2RL VX′ VY′
where, VX′ VY′ is the voltage at

then VO =
Let RX = RY = 10 kΩ,
then I3RY
= 10 V
I13RX
= 10 V
since VX(max) = VY(max) = 5.0 V, the value of RX= RY = 10 kΩ
is sufficient.
Step 3. Now that RX, RY and I3 have been chosen, RL can
be determined:

The choice of an operational amplifier for this application
should have low bias currents, low offset current, and a high
common mode input voltage range as well as a high common
mode rejection ratio. The MC1456, and MC1741C
operational amplifiers meet these requirements.

MC1495
The versatility of the MC1495 allows the user to to
optimize its performance for various input and output signal
levels.
Referring to Figure 21, the level shift components will be
determined. When VX = VY = 0, the currents I2 and I14 will be
equal to I13. In Step 3, RL was found to be 20 kΩ and in Step
4, V2 and V14 were found to be approximately 11 V. From this
information RO can be found easily from the following
equation (neglecting the operational amplifiers bias current):

OFFSET AND SCALE FACTOR ADJUSTMENT
Offset Voltages
Within the monolithic multiplier (Figure 3) transistor baseemitter junctions are typically matched within 1.0 mV and
resistors are typically matched within 2%. Even with this
careful matching, an output error can occur. This output error
is comprised of X-input offset voltage, Y-input offset voltage,
and output offset voltage. These errors can be adjusted to
zero with the techniques shown in Figure 21. Offset terms
can be shown analytically by the transfer function:
And for this example, 11 V + 1.0 mA = 15 V –11 V
20 kΩ
RO
Solving for RO: RO = 2.6 kΩ, thus, select RO = 3.0 kΩ
For RO = 3.0 kΩ, the voltage at Pins 2 and 14 is calculated
to be:
V2 = V14 = 10.4 V.
VO = K[Vx ± Viox ± Vx(off)] [Vy ± Vioy ± Vy(off)] ± VOO
Where:
The linearity of this circuit (Figure 21) is likely to be as
good or better than the circuit of Figure 5. Further
improvements are possible as shown in Figure 23 where RY
has been increased substantially to improve the Y linearity,
and RX decreased somewhat so as not to materially affect
the X linearity. This avoids increasing RL significantly in order
to maintain a K of 0.1.

For most dc applications, all three offset adjust
potentiometers (P1, P2, P4) will be necessary. One or more
offset adjust potentiometers can be eliminated for ac
applications (see Figures 28, 29, 30, 31).
If well regulated supply voltages are available, the offset
adjust circuit of Figure 13 is recommended. Otherwise, the
circuit of Figure 14 will greatly reduce the sensitivity to power
supply changes.
Scale Factor
The scale factor K is set by P3 (Figure 21). P3 varies I3
which inversely controls the scale factor K. It should be noted
that current I3 is one-half the current through R1. R1 sets the
bias level for Q5, Q6, Q7, and Q8 (see Figure 3). Therefore, to
be sure that these devices remain active under all conditions
of input and output swing, care should be exercised in
adjusting P3 over wide voltage ranges (see General Design
Procedure).
Adjustment Procedures
The following adjustment procedure should be used to null
the offsets and set the scale factor for the multiply mode of
operation, (see Figure 21).
1. X-Input Offset
(a) Connect oscillator (1.0 kHz, 5.0 Vpp sinewave)
to the Y-input (Pin 4).
(b) Connect X-input (Pin 9) to ground.
(c) Adjust X offset potentiometer (P2) for an ac
null at the output.
2. Y-Input Offset
(a) Connect oscillator (1.0 kHz, 5.0 Vpp sinewave)
to the X-input (Pin 9).
(b) Connect Y-input (Pin 4) to ground.
(c) Adjust Y offset potentiometer (P1) for an ac null
at the output.
3. Output Offset
(a) Connect both X and Y-inputs to ground.
(b) Adjust output offset potentiometer (P4) until
the output voltage (VO) is 0 Vdc.
4. Scale Factor
(a) Apply +10 Vdc to both the X and Y-inputs.
(b) Adjust P3 to achieve + 10 V at the output.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 as necessary.
Multiply
The circuit shown in Figure 21 may be used to multiply
signals from dc to 100 kHz. Input levels to the actual
multiplier are 5.0 V (max). With resistive voltage dividers the
maximum could be very large however, for this application
two-to-one dividers have been used so that the maximum
input level is 10 V. The maximum output level has also been
designed for 10 V (max).
Squaring Circuit
If the two inputs are tied together, the resultant function is
squaring; that is VO = KV2 where K is the scale factor. Note
that all error terms can be eliminated with only three
adjustment potentiometers, thus eliminating one of the input
offset adjustments. Procedures for nulling with adjustments
are given as follows:
A. AC Procedure:
1. Connect oscillator (1.0 kHz, 15 Vpp) to input.
2. Monitor output at 2.0 kHz with tuned voltmeter
and adjust P3 for desired gain. (Be sure to peak
response of the voltmeter.)
3. Tune voltmeter to 1.0 kHz and adjust P1 for a
minimum output voltage.
4. Ground input and adjust P4 (output offset) for
0 Vdc output.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 as necessary.
B. DC Procedure:
1. Set VX = VY = 0 V and adjust P4 (output offset
potentiometer) such that VO = 0 Vdc
2. Set VX = VY = 1.0 V and adjust P1 (Y-input offset
potentiometer) such that the output voltage is
+ 0.100 V.
3. Set VX = VY = 10 Vdc and adjust P3 such that
the output voltage is + 10 V.
4. Set VX = VY = –10 Vdc. Repeat steps 1 through
3 as necessary.

In terms of percentage error,
Divide Circuit
Consider the circuit shown in Figure 24 in which the
multiplier is placed in the feedback path of an operational
amplifier. For this configuration, the operational amplifier will
maintain a “virtual ground” at the inverting (–) input.
Assuming that the bias current of the operational amplifier is

Two things should be emphasized concerning Figure 25.
1. The input voltage (VX′) must be greater than zero and
must be positive. This insures that the current out of
Pin 2 of the multiplier will always be in a direction
compatible with the polarity of VZ.
2. Pin 2 and 14 of the multiplier have been interchanged in
respect to the operational amplifiers input terminals. In
this instance, Figure 25 differs from the circuit
connection shown in Figure 21; necessitated to insure
negative feedback around the loop.
Hence, the output voltage is the ratio of VZ to VX and
provides a divide function. This analysis is, of course, the
ideal condition. If the multiplier error is taken into account, the
output voltage is found to be:
VY = –
R1 VZ ∆E
+
R2 K VX KVX
(7)
From Equation 7, the percentage error is inversely related
to voltage VZ (i.e., for increasing values of VZ, the percentage
error decreases).
A circuit that performs the divide function is shown in
Figure 25.
(2)
If R1=R2,

A suggested adjustment procedure for the divide circuit.
1. Set VZ = 0 V and adjust the output offset potentiometer
(P4) until the output voltage (VO) remains at some (not
necessarily zero) constant value as VX′ is varied
between +1.0 V and +10 V.
2. Keep VZ at 0 V, set VX′ at +10 V and adjust the Y input
offset potentiometer (P1) until VO = 0 V.
3. Let VX′ = VZ and adjust the X-input offset potentiometer
(P2) until the output voltage remains at some (not
necessarily – 10 V) constant value as VZ = VX′ is varied
between +1.0 and +10 V.
4. Keep VX′ = VZ and adjust the scale factor potentiometer
(P3) until the average value of VO is –10 V as VZ = VX′ is
varied between +1.0 V and +10 V.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 as necessary to achieve
optimum performance.
(5)
where ∆E is the error voltage at the output of the multiplier.
From this equation, it is seen that divide accuracy is strongly
dependent upon the accuracy at which the multiplier can be
set, particularly at small values of VY. For example, assume
that R1 = R2, and K = 1/10. For these conditions the output of
the divide circuit is given by:
–10 VZ 10 ∆E
VY =
(6)
+
VX
VX
From Equation 6, it is seen that only when VX = 10 V is the
error voltage of the divide circuit as low as the error of the
multiply circuit. For example, when VX is small, (0.1 V) the
error voltage of the divide circuit can be expected to be a
hundred times the error of the basic multiplier circuit.

The applications that follow demonstrate the versatility of
the monolithic multiplier. If a potted multiplier is used for these
cases, the results generally would not be as good because
the potted units have circuits that, although they optimize dc
multiplication operation, can hinder ac applications.
Frequency doubling often is done with a diode where
the fundamental plus a series of harmonics are
generated. However, extensive filtering is required to obtain
the desired harmonic, and the second harmonic obtained
under this technique usually is small in magnitude and
requires amplification.
When a multiplier is used to double frequency the second
harmonic is obtained directly, except for a dc term, which can
be removed with ac coupling.

Square Root
A special case of the divide circuit in which the two inputs
to the multiplier are connected together is the square root
function as indicated in Figure 26. This circuit may suffer from
latch-up problems similar to those of the divide circuit. Note
that only one polarity of input is allowed and diode clamping
(see Figure 27) protects against accidental latch-up.
This circuit also may be adjusted in the closed-loop mode
as follows:
1. Set VZ to –0.01 V and adjust P4 (output offset) for
VO = +0.316 V, being careful to approach the output
from the positive side to preclude the effect of the output
diode clamping.
2. Set VZ to –0.9 V and adjust P2 (X adjust) for
VO = +3.0 V.
3. Set VZ to –10 V and adjust P3 (scale factor adjust)
for VO = +10 V.
4. Steps 1 through 3 may be repeated as necessary to
achieve desired accuracy.

eo = KE (1 + cos 2ωt).

A potted multiplier can be used to obtain the double
frequency component, but frequency would be limited by its
internal level-shift amplififer. In the monolithic units, the
amplifier is omitted.
In a typical doubler circuit, conventional ± 15 V supplies
are used. An input dynamic range of 5.0 V peak-to-peak is
allowed. The circuit generates wave-forms that are double
frequency; less than 1% distortion is encountered without
filtering. The configuration has been successfully used in
excess of 200 kHz; reducing the scale factor by decreasing
the load resistors can further expand the bandwidth.
Figure 29 represents an application for the monolithic
multiplier as a balanced modulator. Here, the audio input
signal is 1.6 kHz and the carrier is 40 kHz.

where ωc is the carrier frequency, ωm is the modulator
frequency and K is the multiplier gain constant.
AC coupling at the output eliminates the need for level
translation or an operational amplifier; a higher operating
frequency results.
A problem common to communications is to extract the
intelligence from single-sideband received signal. The ssb
signal is of the form:
essb = A cos (ωc + ωm) t
and if multiplied by the appropriate carrier waveform, cos ωct,
essbecarrier = AK [cos (2ωc + ωm)t + cos (ωc) t ].
2
If the frequency of the band-limited carrier signal (ωc) is
ascertained in advance, the designer can insert a low pass
filter and obtain the (AK/2) (cosωct) term with ease. He/she
also can use an operational amplifier for a combination level
shift-active filter, as an external component. But in potted
multipliers, even if the frequency range can be covered, the
operational amplifier is inside and not accessible, so the user
must accept the level shifting provided, and still add a low
pass filter.
Amplitude Modulation
The multiplier performs amplitude modulation, similar to
balanced modulation, when a dc term is added to the
modulating signal with the Y-offset adjust potentiometer (see
Figure 30).
Here, the identity is:
Em(1 + m cos ωmt) Ec cos ωct = KEmEccos ωct +
KEmEcm
[ cos(ωc + ωm)t + cos (ωc – ωm) t ]
2
where m indicates the degrees of modulation. Since m is
adjustable, via potentiometer P1, 100% modulation is
possible. Without extensive tweaking, 96% modulation may
be obtained where ωc and ωm are the same as in the
balanced modulator example.
Linear Gain Control
To obtain linear gain control, the designer can feed to one
of the two MC1495 inputs a signal that will vary the unit’s
gain. The following example demonstrates the feasibility of
this application. Suppose a 200 kHz sinewave, 1.0 V
peak-to-peak, is the signal to which a gain control will be
added. The dynamic range of the control voltage VC is 0 V to
+1.0 V. These must be ascertained and the proper values of
RX and RY can be selected for optimum performance. For the
200 kHz operating frequency, load resistors of 100 Ω were
chosen to broaden the operating bandwidth of the multiplier,
but gain was sacrificed. It may be made up with an amplifier
operating at the appropriate frequency (see Figure 31).

The signal is applied to the unit’s Y-input. Since the total
input range is limited to 1.0 Vpp, a 2.0 V swing, a current
source of 2.0 mA and an RY value of 1.0 kΩ is chosen. This
takes best advantage of the dynamic range and insures
linear operation in the Y-channel.
Since the X-input varies between 0 and +1.0 V, the current
source selected was 1.0 mA, and the RX value chosen
was 2.0 kΩ. This also insures linear operation over the
X-input dynamic range. Choosing RL = 100 assures wide
bandwidth operation.
