<p>A multiplier comprises first and second squaring circuits each including first and second MOS transistors having their sources connected in common and third and fourth MOS transistors having their sources connected in common. The first and third transistors have a first gate W/L ratio and have their drains connected to each other, and the second and fourth transistors have their drains connected to each other and have a second gate W/L ratio different from the first ratio. Gates of the first and fourth transistors are connected to each other, and gates of the second and third transistors are connected to each other. A first input signal is supplied to the gates of the first and fourth transistors of each of the first and second squaring circuits, and a second input signal is supplied, without being inverted, to the gates of the second and third transistors of the first squaring circuit, and without being inverted, to the gates of the second and third transistors of the second squaring circuit. The drains of the first and third transistors of each of the squaring circuits are connected to the second and fourth transistors of the other squaring circuits. A multiplication of the first and second input signals is given by a difference between a current flowing into the drains of the first and third transistors of the first squaring circuits and the drains of the second and fourth transistors of the second squaring circuits, and another current flowing into the drains of the second and fourth transistors of the first squaring circuits and the drains of the first and third transistors of the second squaring circuits. <IMAGE></p> |
