Proceedings of the 31st European Solid-State Circuits Conference, 2005. ESSCIRC 2005., 2005

In this paper, a novel current mode CMOS four-quadrant analog multiplier circuit is presented. The multiplication is implemented by four translinear loops with MOS transistors operating in weak inversion. Information carrying signals are differential balanced currents. The multiplier circuit has been implemented in a test chip in a standard 0.35 m CMOS technology. The experimental measurements (dc bias current of 250 nA and a power supply of 2.0 V) show a bandwidth of 200 kHz and a THD figure value lower than 0.9 %. The multiplier features a wide signal dynamic range and linearity, low power consumption (the maximum power consumption is of 5.5·10 -6 W) and very low area (18.7 10 -3 mm 2 ). The multiplier is suitable for a wide range of analog signal processing applications. Due to the low power and silicon area consumption, scalability and modularity can be also easily integrated in massive parallel systems.

Chinese Journal of Electronics, 2020

This manuscript presents a new four-quadrant analog multiplier using a recently reported current mode active building block, namely the Fully differential second generation current conveyor (FDCCII). The proposed circuit employs single FDCCII and two NMOSFETs only, thus has simple architecture. It is fully-integrable as no other external passive component has been used. Non-ideal behaviour of the reported configuration has been analysed considering current and voltage tracking errors of the FDCCII. Workability of the derived multiplier is verified with PSPICE (Cadence 16.6) simulations using model parameter of TSMC 0.35µm CMOS process and found to be in close agreement with theoretical anticipations. The static power consumption of the circuit is 0.107mW. The circuit works well with good linearity (nonlinearity error ≤ 0.96%) for the input voltage range of ±0.5V for a supply voltage of ±1V and the output is insensitive to temperature variation. Simulation results show that the-3dB bandwidth of the proposed multiplier is 20.67MHz and the output referred noise is less than 9nV/ √ Hz at 1kΩ load condition. Monte-Carlo analysis has also been performed for the proposed configuration. The applicability of the reported multiplier as amplitude modulator, squarer, and frequency doubler are also demonstrated.
