FOUR-QUADRANT MULTIPLIER

Applications requiring multiplication, squaring or other non-

linear functions can be implemented with four-quadrant mul-

tipliers. The LMH6503 implements a four-quadrant multiplier

as illustrated in Figure 11:

LMH6503 can be accomplished using parallel networks con-

nected across the R

Figure 12 schematic will effectively extend the LMH6503’s

bandwidth.

The LMH6503 Variable-Gain Amplifier placed into a feed-

back loop provides signal processing function such as in a

2nd order tunable bandpass filter. The center frequency of

the 2nd order bandpass shown in Figure 13 is adjusted

through the use of the LMH6503’s gain control voltage, V

The integrators implemented with two sections of a

LMH6682, provide the coefficients for the transfer function.
