A squaring cell comprises a first circuit responsive to an input voltage to produce a corresponding current, and a second circuit, preferably in the form of an absolute modulator circuit, responsive to the current produced by the first circuit and to the input voltage to produce an output current that corresponds to the square of the input voltage. In one embodiment, the first circuit comprises an absolute value voltage-to-current converter; in another, the first circuit comprises a linear voltage-to-current converter. Techniques to improve accurate square law performance of the cell, independent of temperature, and of broad input voltage range and frequency, are presented. |
