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.

AD835
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD835 is a four-quadrant, voltage output, analog multiplier fabricated on an advanced, dielectrically isolated, complementary bipolar process. In its basic mode, it provides the linear
product of its X and Y voltage inputs. In this mode, the –3dB
output voltage bandwidth is 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
of 150 Ω) and the settling time to 0.1% under
L
the same conditions is typically 20 ns.
As in earlier multipliers from Analog Devices, a unique sum-
ming feature is provided at the Z-input. As well as providing independent ground references for inputs and output, and
enhanced versatility, this feature allows the AD835 to operate
with voltage
gain
. Its X-, Y- and Z-input voltages are all nominally ±1 V FS, with overrange of at least 20%. The inputs are
fully differential and at high impedance (100 kΩi2 pF) and provide a 70 dB CMRR (f ≤ 1 MHz).
The low impedance output is capable of driving loads as small
as 25 Ω. The peak output can be as large as ± 2.2 V minimum
for R
= 150 Ω , or ±2.0 V minimum into RL = 50 Ω. The
L
AD835 has much lower noise than the AD534 or AD734, making it attractive in low level signal-processing applications, for
example, as a wideband gain-control element or modulator.
Basic Theory
The multiplier is based on a classic form, having a translinear
core, supported by three (X, Y, Z) linearized voltage-to-current
converters, and the load driving output amplifier. The scaling
voltage (the denominator U, in the equations below) is provided
by a bandgap reference of novel design, optimized for ultralow
noise. Figure 17 shows the functional block diagram.
In general terms, the AD835 provides the function
(X1– X 2)(Y1– Y2)
W =
+ Z
U
(1)
where the variables W, U, X, Y and Z are all voltages. Connected as a simple multiplier, with X = X1 – X2, Y = Y1 – Y2
and Z = 0, and with a scale factor adjustment (see below) which
sets U = 1 V, the output can be expressed as
W=XY

W OUTPUT
Simplified representations of this sort, where all signals are presumed to be expressed in volts, are used throughout this data
sheet, to avoid the needless use of less-intuitive subscripted variables (such as V
). We can view all variables as being normal-
X1
ized to 1 V. For example, the input X can either be stated as
being in the range –1 V to +1 V, or simply –1 to +1. The latter
representation will be found to facilitate the development of new
functions using the AD835. The explicit inclusion of the denominator, U, is also less helpful, as in the case of the AD835, if
it is not an electrical input variable.
Scaling Adjustment
The basic value of U in Equation 1 is nominally 1.05 V. Figure
18, which shows the basic multiplier connections, also
shows how the effective value of U can be adjusted to have any
lower voltage (usually 1 V) through the use of a resistive-divider
between W (Pin 5) and Z (Pin 4). Using the general resistor values shown, we can rewrite Equation 1 as
W =
+kW +(1– k)Z'
U
(3)
XY
(where Z' is distinguished from the signal Z at Pin 4). It follows
that
(4)
W =
XY
(1– k)U
+ Z'
In this way, we can modify the effective value of U to
U'= (1– k)U
(5)
without altering the scaling of the Z' input. (This is to be expected, since the only “ground reference” for the output is
through the Z' input.)
Thus, to set U' to 1 V, remembering that the basic value of U is
1.05 V, we need to choose R1 to have a nominal value of 20
times R2. The values shown here allow U to be adjusted
through the nominal range 0.95 V to 1.05 V, that is, R2 provides a 5% gain adjustment.

APPLICATIONS
The AD835 is both easy to use and versatile. The capability for
adding another signal to the output at the Z input is frequently
valuable. Three applications of this feature are presented here: a
wideband voltage controlled amplifier, an amplitude modulator
and a frequency doubler. Of course, the AD835 may also be
used as a square law detector (with its X- and Y-inputs connected in parallel) in which mode it is useful at input frequencies to well over 250 MHz, since that is the bandwidth
limitation only of the outputamplifier.
Multiplier Connections
Figure 18 shows the basic connections for multiplication. The
inputs will often be single sided, in which case the X2 and Y2
inputs will normally be grounded. Note that by assigning Pins 7
and 2 to these (inverting) inputs, respectively, an extra measure
of isolation between inputs and output is provided. The X and
Y inputs may, of course, be reversed to achieve some desired
overall sign with inputs of a particular polarity, or they may be
driven fully differentially.
Power supply decoupling and careful board layout are always
important in applying wideband circuits. The decoupling recommendations shown in Figure 18 should be followed closely.
In remaining figures in this data sheet, these power supply
decoupling components have been omitted for clarity, but
should be used wherever optimal performance with high speed
inputs is required. However, they may be omitted if the full high
frequency capabilities of AD835 are not being exploited.
A Wideband Voltage Controlled Amplifier
Figure 19 shows the AD835 configured to provide a gain of
nominally 0 to 12 dB. (In fact, the control range extends from
well under –12 dB to about +14 dB.) R1 and R2 set the gain to
be nominally ×4. The attendant bandwidth reduction that
comes with this increased gain can be partially offset by the addition of the peaking capacitor C1. Although this circuit shows
the use of dual supplies, the AD835 can operate from a single
9 V supply with slight revision.

An Amplitude Modulator
Figure 21 shows a simple modulator. The carrier is applied both
to the Y-input and the Z-input, while the modulating signal is
applied to the X-input. For zero modulation, there is no product
term, so the carrier input is simply replicated at unity gain by
the voltage follower action from the Z-input. At X = 1V, the
RF output is doubled, while for X = –1 V, it is fully suppressed.
That is, an X-input of approximately ± 1 V (actually ±U, or
about 1.05 V) corresponds to a modulation index of 100%. Carrier and modulation frequencies can be up to 300MHz, somewhat beyond the nominal –3 dB bandwidth.
Of course, a suppressed carrier modulator can be implemented
by omitting the feedforward to the Z-input, grounding that pin
instead.

Squaring and Frequency Doubling
Amplitude domain squaring of an input signal, E, is achieved
simply by connecting the X- and Y-inputs in parallel to produce an output of E
the output in this case will always be positive. The output polarity may be reversed by interchanging either the X or Y inputs.
When the input is a sine wave E sin ωt, a signal squarer behaves
as a frequency doubler, since
While useful, Equation 6 shows a dc term at the output which
will vary strongly with the amplitude of the input, E.

Figure 22 shows a frequency doubler which overcomes this limitation and provides a relatively constant output over a moderately wide frequency range, determined by the time-constant C1
and R1. The voltage applied to the X- and Y-inputs are exactly
in quadrature at a frequency f = 1/2 πC1R1 and their amplitudes are equal. At higher frequencies, the X-input becomes
smaller while the Y-input increases in amplitude; the opposite
happens at lower frequencies. The result is a double frequency
output, centered on ground, whose amplitude of 1V for a 1 V
input varies by only 0.5% over a frequency range of ± 10%. Because there is no “squared” dc component at the output, sudden changes in the input amplitude do not cause a “bounce” in
the dc level.

the output to 1 V for an input amplitude of 1 V (the same gain

capacitor, C1, decreases with frequency, while that across the
