Abstract

This paper presents a novel design technique for low-distortion, micropower CMOS analog multipliers by adapting Gilbert's translinear principle to weak inversion. A non-linearity of 0.95% for input voltages of 0.5V and power consumption of 84¿W have experimentally been obtained. The multiplier bandwidth is 30Khz for a bias current of 370¿A.
