A four-quadrant analog multiplier based on switched-capacitor and pulse-width amplitude modulation techniques

摘要

This article proposes a Four-Quadrant Analog Multiplier (4-QAM) applying switched-capacitor and pulse-width amplitude modulation (PWAM) principles. The features of the presented circuit are that it can function as analog multiplier with a wide dynamic range of input signal and no disturbing from deviation of carrier frequency of PWM signal. In addition, the circuit detail is simpler than that of the previously proposed circuits. It is then easy and applicable for employing it into Integrated Circuit (IC) realization to especially operate in low-frequency and low-power applications. The experimental results granted are in correspondence to the theoretical analysis.
