Using log and antilog amplifiers, the circuit can be built to obtain the output proportional to the product of the two input voltages. The circuit is called analog voltage multiplier.
Analog Voltage Multiplier Circuit
Using
log and antilog amplifiers, the circuit can be built to obtain the output
proportional to the product of the two input voltages. The circuit is called
analog voltage multiplier. The circuit is shown in the Fig. 4.6.1.
The
equations (4.6.1) and (4.6.2), are written according to the theory of
logarithmic amplifiers.
Now
op-amp A 3 is non-inverting amplifier with unity gain.
Key
Point Thus the output is proportional to the product of
two analog inputs V1 and V2
