Linear - Analog Multipliers, Dividers
Linear - Analog Multipliers, Dividers: Precision Signal Processing Components
Definition & Functionality
Linear - Analog Multipliers and Dividers are specialized integrated circuits (ICs) designed to perform real-time mathematical operations (multiplication/division) on analog voltage signals. These components are essential for nonlinear signal processing in applications requiring precise amplitude modulation, frequency mixing, automatic gain control (AGC), or true RMS conversion. They operate within continuous voltage ranges, offering high accuracy and low temperature drift for critical analog systems.
Types & Variations
This product category includes:
1. Analog Multipliers Four-quadrant (handling positive/negative inputs) and two-quadrant designs, with bandwidths ranging from DC to GHz levels.
2. Analog Dividers Often paired with multipliers for ratio-based computations, featuring logarithmic or feedforward architectures.
3. Multiplier-Divider Hybrids Configurable ICs combining both functions, optimized for compact PCB layouts.
4. Programmable Gain ICs Integrate multipliers/dividers with op-amps for dynamic signal scaling.
Selection Guidance
When sourcing Linear Multipliers/Dividers, consider:
- Bandwidth & Linearity: Match IC bandwidth (>2x signal frequency) and linearity error (<0.1%) to application needs (e.g., RF vs. audio).
- Quadrant Operation: Four-quadrant multipliers (e.g., AD633) suit AC signal processing; two-quadrant types may suffice for unipolar inputs.
- Power Supply: Verify compatibility with system voltages (e.g., 15V industrial vs. +5V portable devices).
- Package & Integration: SOIC packages save space; some ICs embed auxiliary op-amps for reduced external components.
Why This Category Matters
These ICs enable complex analog computations without digital latency, making them irreplaceable in radar systems, analog computing, and instrumentation. Partner with trusted distributors (e.g., Analog Devices, Texas Instruments) to ensure authentic, datasheet-backed performance. For prototyping, evaluate evaluation modules (EVMs) to validate thermal and noise behavior.
