Title:
ARITHMETIC CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3477094
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a signal which is the square of an AC signal, without distortion in a MOS transistor (TR) circuit.
SOLUTION: The drain current of a 1st MOS TR M1, whose gate receives a signal resulting from superimposing an AC signal onto a DC voltage and that is operated and a drain current of a 2nd MOS TR M2 whose gate receives a signal resulting from superimposing an AC signal onto a DC voltage with an inverted phase to each other and that is operated, are summed, and a drain current of a 3rd MOS TR M3 whose gate receives a DC voltage and that is operated is subtracted from the sum, so that the DC components of the 1st and 2nd MOS TRs are removed. Thus, a current proportional to the square of the AC signal can be produced independently of the threshold of the TRs.
