Abstract
Disclosed is a multiplier circuit including first and second squaring circuits comprising first and second differential MOS transistors respectively connected in cascode to first and second diode-connected MOS transistors. The first squaring circuit receives a differential sum voltage of a first input voltage and a second input voltage. The second squaring circuit receives a differential subtraction voltage of the first input voltage and the second input voltage. Outputs of the first and second squaring circuits are first and second terminal voltages of the first and second diode-connected MOS transistors. A differential voltage between the first and second terminal voltages corresponds to the product of the first and second input voltages.
