ABSTRACT
Peak responding multipliers are classified into peak detecting multipliers and peak sampling multipliers. A short pulse/saw tooth waveform whose time period is proportional to one voltage is generated. The peak value of the integrated voltage is proportional to the product of the two input voltages. This is called a double single-slope peak responding multiplier. A square/triangular waveform whose time period is proportional to one voltage is generated. The peak value of the integrated voltage is proportional to the product of the two input voltages. This is called double dual-slope peak responding multiplier. A rectangular pulse waveform whose OFF time is proportional to one voltage is generated. Another voltage is integrated during this OFF time. A peak responding multiplier uses either analog switches or analog multiplexers for its operation. If analog switches are used, it is called a switching peak responding multiplier, and if analog multiplexers are used, it is called a multiplexing peak responding multiplier.
