These complete multipliers are ideal for general purpose applications such as voltage controlled amplifiers, variable active filters, “zipper” noise free audio level adjustment, and automatic gain control. Other applications include cost-effective multiple-channel power calculations (I × V), polynomial correction generation, and low frequency modulation. The MLT04 multiplier is ideally suited for generating complex, high-order waveforms especially suitable for geometry correction in high-resolution CRT display systems.

A precision internal bandgap reference normalizes signal computation to a 0.4 scale factor. Drift over temperature is under 0.005%/°C. Spot noise voltage of 0.3 µV/√Hz results in a THD + Noise performance of 0.02% (LPF = 22 kHz) for the lower distortion Y channel. The four 8 MHz channels consume a total of 150 mW of quiescent power. The MLT04 is available in 18-pin plastic DIP, and SOIC-18 surface mount packages.

B MLT04 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The MLT04 is a low cost quad, 4-quadrant analog multiplier with single-ended voltage inputs and voltage outputs. The functional block diagram for each of the multipliers is illustrated in Figure 3. Due to packaging constraints, access to internal nodes for externally adjusting scale factor, output offset voltage, or additional summing signals is not provided. ANALOG MULTIPLIER ERROR SOURCES Multiplier errors consist primarily of input and output offsets, scale factor errors, and nonlinearity in the multiplying core. An expression for the output of a real analog multiplier is given by: V O = ( K + ∆K ){(VX + X OS )(V Y + Y OS ) + ZOS + f ( X , Y )} where: K ∆K VX XOS VY YOS ZOS ƒ(X, Y) +VS MLT04 X1, X2, X3, X4 0.4 G1, G2, G3, G4 W1, W2, W3, W4 = = = = = = = = Multiplier Scale Factor Scale Factor Error X-Input Signal X-Input Offset Voltage Y-Input Signal Y-Input Offset Voltage Multiplier Output Offset Voltage Nonlinearity Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 Executing the algebra to simplify the above expression yields expressions for all the errors in an analog multiplier: –VS Figure 3. Functional Block Diagram of Each MLT04 Multiplier Each of the MLT04’s analog multipliers is based on a Gilbert cell multiplier configuration, a 1.23 V bandgap reference, and a unityconnected output amplifier. Multiplier scale factor is determined through a differential pair/trimmable resistor network external to the core. An equivalent circuit for each of the multipliers is shown in Figure 4.

Of the four sources of error, only two are externally trimmable in the MLT04: the X- and Y-input offset voltages. Output offset voltage in the MLT04 is factory-trimmed to ± 50 mV, and the scale factor is internally adjusted to ± 2.5% of full scale. Input offset voltage errors can be eliminated by using the optional trim circuit of Figure 6. This scheme then reduces the net error to output offset, scale-factor (gain) error, and an irreducible nonlinearity component in the multiplying core. Figure 4. Equivalent Circuit for the MLT04 Details of each multiplier’s output-stage amplifier are shown in Figure 5. The output stages idles at 200 µA, and the resistors in series with the emitters of the output stage are 25 Ω. The output stage can drive load capacitances up to 500 pF without oscillation. For loads greater than 500 pF, the outputs of the MLT04 should be isolated from the load capacitance with a 100 Ω resistor.

Equivalent Circuit for MLT04 Output Stages REV. B –3– MLT04 Feedthrough In the ideal case, the output of the multiplier should be zero if either input is zero. In reality, some portion of the nonzero input will “feedthrough” the multiplier and appear at the output. This is caused by the product of the nonzero input and the offset voltage of the “zero” input. Introducing an offset equal to and opposite of the “zero” input offset voltage will null the linear component of the feedthrough. Residual feedthrough at the output of the multiplier is then irreducible core nonlinearity. VERTICAL – 5mV/DIV 100 Typical X- and Y-input feedthrough curves for the MLT04 are shown in Figures 7 and 8, respectively. These curves illustrate MLT04 feedthrough after “zero” input offset voltage trim. Residual X-input feedthrough measures 0.08% of full scale, whereas residual Y-input feedthrough is almost immeasurable. 90 10 0% Figure 9.

It is the difference between actual performance and “best-straightline” theoretical output, for all pairs of input values. It is expressed as a percentage of full scale with all other dc errors nulled. Typical X- and Y-input nonlinearities for the MLT04 are shown in Figures 9 through 12. Worst-case X-input nonlinearity measured less than 0.2%, and Y-input nonlinearity measured better than 0.06%. For modulator/demodulator or mixer applications it is, therefore, recommended that the carrier be connected to the X-input while the signal is applied to the Y-input.

Power Supply Rejection vs. Frequency 1.0 200 –9– MLT04 APPLICATIONS The MLT04 is well suited for such applications as modulation/ demodulation, automatic gain control, power measurement, analog computation, voltage-controlled amplifiers, frequency doublers, and geometry correction in CRT displays. Multiplier Connections Figure 43 llustrates the basic connections for multiplication. Each of the four independent multipliers has single-ended voltage inputs (X, Y) and a low impedance voltage output (W). Also, each multiplier has its own dedicated ground connection (GND) which is connected to the circuit’s analog common. For best performance, circuit layout should be compact with short component leads and well-bypassed supply voltage feeds. In applications where fewer than four multipliers are used, all unused analog inputs must be returned to the analog common. The equation shows a dc term at the output which will vary strongly with the amplitude of the input, V IN. The output dc offset can be eliminated by capacitively coupling the MLT04’s output with a high-pass filter. For optimal spectral performance, the filter’s cutoff frequency should be chosen to eliminate the input fundamental frequency. A source of error in this configuration is the offset voltages of the X and Y inputs. The input offset voltages produce cross products with the input signal to distort the output waveform. To circumvent this problem, Figure 45 illustrates the use of inverting amplifiers configured with an OP285 to provide a means by which the X- and Y-input offsets can be trimmed.

Basic Multiplier Connections Squaring and Frequency Doubling As shown in Figure 44, squaring of an input signal, V IN, is achieved by connecting the X-and Y-inputs in parallel to produce an output of VIN2/2.5 V. The input may have either polarity, but the output will be positive. +5V Feedback Divider Connections The most commonly used analog divider circuit is the “inverted multiplier” configuration. As illustrated in Figure 46, an “inverted multiplier” analog divider can be configured with a multiplier operating in the feedback loop of an operational amplifier. The general form of the transfer function for this circuit configuration is given by: 0.1µF VIN X Y 1/4 MLT04 + GND R2 VIN VO = −2.5 V × × R1 VX W 0.4 W = 0.4 VIN2 + 0.1µF –5V Figure 44. Connections for Squaring Here, the multiplier operates as a voltage-controlled potentiometer that adjusts the loop gain of the op amp relative to a control signal, VX. As the control signal to the multiplier decreases, the output of the multiplier decreases as well. This has the effect of reducing negative feedback which, in turn, decreases the amplifier’s loop gain. The result is higher closed-loop gain and reduced circuit bandwidth. As VX is increased, the output of the multiplier increases which generates more negative feedback — closed-loop gain drops and circuit bandwidth increases. An example of an “inverted multiplier” analog divider frequency response is shown in Figure 47. When the input is a sine wave given by V IN sin ωt, the squaring circuit behaves as a frequency doubler because of the trigonometric identity: (VIN sin ωt )2 V 2 1 = IN (1 − cos 2 ωt ) 2.5V 2.5V 2 –10– REV.

The advantage with this approach over conventional active-filter configurations is that the overall characteristic cut-off frequency, ωO, will be directly proportional to a multiplying input voltage. This permits the construction of filters in which the capacitors are adjustable (directly or inversely) by a control voltage. Hence, the frequency scale of a filter can be manipulated by means of a single voltage without affecting any other parameters.

Signal-Dependent Feedback Makes Variables Out of Amplifier Bandwidth and Stability R1 VX ωLP = R1 + R2 2.5RC Although this technique works well with almost any operational amplifier, there is one caveat: for best circuit stability, the unitygain crossover frequency of the operational amplifier should be equal to or less than the MLT04’s 8 MHz bandwidth. X1 + Connection for Square Rooting Another application of the “inverted multiplier” configuration is the square-root function. As shown in Figure 48, both inputs of the MLT04 are wired together and are used as the output of the circuit.

To prevent circuit latchup due to positive feedback or input signal polarity reversal, a 1N4148-type junction diode is used in series with the output of the multiplier. Figure 48.

A Voltage-Controlled Low-Pass Filter For example, if R1 = R2 = 10 kΩ , R = 10 kΩ , and C = 80 pF, –11– VO MLT04 then the output of the circuit has a pole at frequencies from 1 kHz to 100 kHz for VX ranging from 25 mV to 2.5 V.
