Out of Amplifier Bandwidth and Stability
Although this technique works well with almost any operational
amplifier, there is one caveat: for best circuit stability, the unity-
gain crossover frequency of the operational amplifier should be
equal to or less than the MLT04’s 8 MHz bandwidth.
Connection for Square Rooting
Another application of the “inverted multiplier” configuration is the
square-root function. As shown in Figure 48, both inputs of the
MLT04 are wired together and are used as the output of the
circuit. Because the circuit configuration exhibits the following
generalized transfer function:

To
prevent circuit latchup due to positive feedback or input signal
polarity reversal, a 1N4148-type junction diode is used in series
with the output of the multiplier.

Voltage-Controlled Low-Pass Filter
The circuit in Figure 49 illustrates how to construct a voltage-
controlled low-pass filter with an analog multiplier. The advantage
with this approach over conventional active-filter configurations is
that the overall characteristic cut-off frequency, ωO, will be directly
proportional to a multiplying input voltage. This permits the
construction of filters in which the capacitors are adjustable
(directly or inversely) by a control voltage. Hence, the frequency
scale of a filter can be manipulated by means of a single voltage
without affecting any other parameters. The general form of the
circuit’s transfer function is given by:
