PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD835 is a complete four-quadrant voltage output analog
multiplier fabricated on an advanced dielectrically isolated
complementary bipolar process. It generates the linear product
of its X and Y voltage inputs, with a –3 dB output bandwidth of
250 MHz (a small signal rise time of 1 ns). Full-scale (–1 V to
+1 V) rise/fall times are 2.5 ns (with the standard R
and the settling time to 0.1% under the same conditions is typically 20 ns.
Its differential multiplication inputs (X, Y) and its summing input (Z) are at high impedance. The low impedance output voltage (W) can provide up to ± 2.5 V and drive loads as low as
25 Ω. Normal operation is from ±5 V supplies.
Though providing state-of-the-art speed, the AD835 is simple
to use and versatile. For example, as well as permitting the addition of a signal at the output, the Z input provides the means
to operate the AD835 with voltage gains up to about ×10. In
this capacity, the very low product noise of this multiplier
(50 nV√
Hz) makes it much more useful than earlier products.
The AD835 is available in an 8-pin plastic mini-DIP package
(N) and an 8-pin SOIC (R) and is specified to operate over the
–40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AD835 is the first monolithic 250 MHz four quadrant
voltage output multiplier.
2. Minimal external components are required to apply the
AD835 to a variety of signal processing applications.
3. High input impedances (100 kΩi2 pF) make signal source
loading negligible.
4. High output current capability allows low impedance loads
to be driven.
5. State of the art noise levels achieved through careful device
optimization and the use of a special low noise bandgap voltage reference.
6. Designed to be easy to use and cost effective in applications
which formerly required the use of hybrid or board level
solutions.

Linearity is defined as residual error after compensating for input offset, output voltage offset and scale factor errors.
All min and max specifications are guaranteed. Specifications in boldface are tested on all production units at final electrical test.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the
operational sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability.
