A New Subthreshold Current-Mode Four Quadrant Multiplier

Abstract

This paper presents a novel current mode four quadrant multiplier. A pair of sub threshold translinear loops and current conveyors are the basic building blocks in realization scheme. The proposed multiplier features simplicity, low power dissipation. The salient features of this approach are; it?s single ended inputs; since it uses sub threshold region of operation, this make the design interesting for low power application; current mode application yields large dynamic range and low power dissipation.
