Design of a Analog Multiplier for low-voltage low-power

저전압 저전력 아날로그 멀티플라이어 설계

In this paper, the CMOS four-quadrant analog multipliers for low-voltage low-power applications are presented. The circuit approach is based on the characteristic of the LV (Low-Voltage) composite transistor which is one of the useful analog building blocks. SPICE simulations are carried out to examine the performances of the designed multipliers. Simulation results are obtained by $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS parameters with 2V power supply. The LV composite transistor can easily be extended to perform a four-quadrant multiplication. The multiplier has a linear input range up to ${\pm}0.5V$ with a linearity error of less than 1%. The measured -3dB bandwidth is 290MHz and the power dissipation is $37{\mu}W$. The proposed multiplier is expected to be suitable for analog signal processing applications such as portable communication equipment, radio receivers, and hand-held movie cameras.
