A NOVEL DESIGN OF CURRENT MODE MULTIPLIER/DIVIDER CIRCUITS FOR ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING

In analog signal processing, current is used as input variables. In this design current mode multiplier /divider circuits is implemented in two modes. Thus implementing the circuit with proposed concept has very small linearity errors. In addition, high linearity is achieved because high accuracy current mirrors are adopted and the output current is insensitive to the temperature. The proposed computational structures are designed for implementing in 0.18-μm CMOS technology, with a lowvoltage operation (a supply voltage of 1.2 V) excepting with the power consumptions are 55 and 70 μW, respectively, while their frequency bandwidths are 79.6 and 59.7 MHz, respectively.

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2018

A circuit technique for designing a compact low-voltage current-mode multiplier/divider circuit in CMOS technology is presented. It is based on the use of a compact current quadratic cell able to operate at low supply voltage. The proposed circuit is designed and simulated for implementing in TSMC 0.25-m CMOS technology with a single supply voltage of 1.5 V. Simulation results using PSPICE, accurately agreement with theoretical ones, have been provided, and also demonstrate a maximum linearity error of 1.5%, a THD less than 2% at 100 MHz, a total power consumption of 508 W, and-3dB small-signal frequency of about 245 MHz. 1. INTRODUCTION Analog multipliers and dividers are very useful sub-circuits in a wide range of signal processing and conditioning applications, such as, analog computation circuits, fuzzy logic controllers and instrumentation systems [1]. They can also be used in communication systems as a programming circuit element, such as, peak detectors and amplitude modulators [2]. Based on the well known current-mode approach, the current multiplier/divider circuit can achieve low supply voltage, low power consumption, large dynamic range, and wide bandwidth. Accordingly, several recent works on analog CMOS current-mode multiplier/divider circuits have been proposed in the literature [3]-[12]. The design approach takes either the exponential I-V relationship of MOS transistors in weak inversion [3]-[6] or their square-law behavior in strong inversion [7]-[12]. In [3]-[5], the translinear loops with MOS transistors operating in the weak inversion mode are used to implementing multiplication and division. The realized circuits are therefore suitable for low-voltage operation and low-power consumption. However, the main limitation of these circuits is that the input dynamic range is very small. The circuits presented in [6]-[10] are not well-suited for low-voltage and low-power applications. A 1.5-V CMOS current multiplier/divider circuit has been reported in [11]. The circuit is based on the use of four compact voltage-to-current converter cells, and also requires additional circuit components to realize the sum and difference of the two input signals i x and i y (i x + i y and i x-i y), which means that the resulting circuit is relatively complex. Additionally, in order to increase an upper-3dB small-signal bandwidth, many analog function circuits can be achieved by utilizing the square-law characteristic of MOS transistors operated in saturation mode [12].
