APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The AD633 is well suited for such applications as modulation
and demodulation, automatic gain control, power measurement,
voltage-controlled amplifiers, and frequency doublers. These
applications show the pin connections for the
AD633JN (8-lead
PDIP), which differs from th
e AD633JR (8-lead SOIC).
MULTIPLIER CONNECTIONS
Figure 12 shows the basic connections for multiplication. The X
and Y inputs normally have their negative nodes grounded, but
they are fully differential, and in many applications, the grounded
inputs may be reversed (to facilitate interfacing with signals of a
particular polarity while achieving some desired output polarity),
or both may be driven.

SQUARING AND FREQUENCY DOUBLING
As is shown in
Figure 13, squaring of an input signal, E, is
achieved simply by connecting the X and Y inputs in parallel to
produce an output of E2/10 V. The input can have either polarity,
but the output is positive. However, the output polarity can be
reversed by interchanging the X or Y inputs. The Z input can be
used to add a further signal to the output.

Equation 2 shows a dc term at the output that varies strongly
with the amplitude of the input, E. This can be avoided using
the connections shown in
Figure 14, where an RC network is
used to generate two signals whose product has no dc term. It
uses the identity

At ωo = 1/CR, the X input leads the input signal by 45° (and is
attenuated by √2), and the Y input lags the X input by 45° (and
is also attenuated by √2). Because the X and Y inputs are 90° out of
phase, the response of the circuit is (satisfying Equation 3)

which has no dc component. Resistors R1 and R2 are included
to restore the output amplitude to 10 V for an input amplitude
of 10 V.
The amplitude of the output is only a weak function of frequency;
the output amplitude is 0.5% too low at ω = 0.9 ω0 and ω0 = 1.1 ω0.
GENERATING INVERSE FUNCTIONS
Inverse functions of multiplication, such as division and square
rooting, can be implemented by placing a multiplier in the feedback
rooting with the transfer function for the condition E < 0.
The 1N4148 diode is required to prevent latchup, which can
occur in such applications if the input were to change polarity,
even momentarily.
