UNIPOLAR BINARY OPERATION

(2-QUADRANT MULTIPLICATION)

Figure 4 shows the circuit diagram for unipolar binary opera-

tion. With an ac input, the circuit performs 2-quadrant multipli-

cation. The code table for Figure 4 is given in Table II.

Operational amplifiers A1 and A2 can be in a single package

(AD644, AD712) or separate packages (AD544, AD711,

AD OP27). Capacitors C1 and C2 provide phase compensation

to help prevent overshoot and ringing when high-speed op amps

are used.

For zero offset adjustment, the appropriate DAC register is

the DAC register with all 1s and adjusting R1 (R3) so that

eration, resistors and potentiometers should have a low Tem-

perature Coefficient. In many applications, because of the

excellent Gain T.C. and Gain Error specifications of the

AD7537, Gain Error trimming is not necessary. In fixed refer-

ence applications, full scale can also be adjusted by omitting R1,

R2, R3, R4 and trimming the reference voltage magnitude.

BIPOLAR OPERATION

(4-QUADRANT MULTIPLICATION)

The recommended circuit diagram for bipolar operation is

shown in Figure 5. Offset binary coding is used.

With the appropriate DAC register loaded to 1000 0000 0000,

R2 (R3, R4) may be omitted and the ratios of R6, R7 (R9, 10)

value of R5 (R8).

If R1, R2 (R3, R4) are not used, then resistors R5, R6, R7 (R8,

R9, R10) should be ratio matched to 0.01% to ensure gain error

performance to the data sheet specification. When operating

over a wide temperature range, it is important that the resistors

be of the same type so that their temperature coefficients match.

The code table for Figure 5 is given in Table III.
