This reference text discusses principles, design, and applications of various types of multiplier-cum-divider circuits (MCDs), and covers applications of operational amplifiers to perform as MCDs circuits The text covers principles of multiplying circuits, dividing circuits, square rooting, and vector magnitude circuits in detail. It discusses how multiplier-cum-divider circuits are developed with saw tooth and triangular waves. It covers important topics including non-linear op-amp circuits, triangular wave referenced multiplier-cum-divider with multiplexes, saw tooth wave referenced MCD with analog switches, peak responding MCD with analog switches and triangular wave referenced MCD with analog switches. The text will be useful for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and professionals in the fields of electrical engineering, and electronics and communication engineering.

Design of analog multipliers discusses what an analog multiplier and its related types is, how different types of analog multipliers are implemented with analog two to one multiplexers and op-amps, and how the types of analog multipliers are implemented with transistors and op-amps. Describing forty-eight analog multiplier circuits, book explains six building blocks as integrator, comparator, switch, low pass filter, peak detector and sample & hold circuit. All analog multiplier circuits presented in this book use a maximum of four operational amplifiers which will enable the readers to simulate the multipliers with minimum number of components and use for their application at low cost.
