PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Direct log ratio computation is possible by using only the log
ratio and output sections of the chip. Access to the multiple
summing junctions adds further to the AD538’s flexibility.
Finally, a wide power supply range of ±4.5 V to ±18 V allows
operation from standard ±5 V, ±12 V and ±15 V supplies.
The AD538 is a monolithic real-time computational circuit that
provides precision analog multiplication, division and exponen-
tiation. The combination of low input and output offset voltages
and excellent linearity results in accurate computation over an
unusually wide input dynamic range. Laser wafer trimming makes
multiplication and division with errors as low as 0.25% of read-
ing possible, while typical output offsets of 100 µV or less add to
the overall off-the-shelf performance level. Real-time analog
signal processing is further enhanced by the device’s 400 kHz
bandwidth.
The AD538 is available in two accuracy grades (A and B) over
the industrial (–25°C to +85°C) temperature range and one
grade (S) over the military (–55°C to +125°C) temperature
range. The device is packaged in an 18-lead TO-118 hermetic
side-brazed ceramic DIP. A-grade chips are also available.
The AD538’s overall transfer function is VO = VY (VZ/VX)m.
Programming a particular function is via pin strapping. No
external components are required for one-quadrant (positive
input) multiplication and division. Two-quadrant (bipolar
numerator) division is possible with the use of external level
shifting and scaling resistors. The desired scale factor for both
multiplication and division can be set using the on-chip +2 V or
+10 V references, or controlled externally to provide simulta-
neous multiplication and division. Exponentiation with an m
value from 0.2 to 5 can be implemented with the addition of
one or two external resistors.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Real-time analog multiplication, division and exponentiation.
2. High accuracy analog division with a wide input dynamic
range.
3. On-chip +2 V or +10 V scaling reference voltages.
4. Both voltage and current (summing) input modes.
5. Monolithic construction with lower cost and higher reliability
than hybrid and modular circuits.

NOTES
1Over the 100 mV to 10 V operating range total error is the sum of a percent of reading term and an output offset. With this input dynamic range the input offset
contribution to total error is negligible compared to the percent of reading error. Thus, it is specified indirectly as a part of the percent of reading error.
2The most accurate representation of total error with low level inputs is the summation of a percent of reading term, an output offset and an input offset multiplied by
the incremental gain (VY + VZ) VX.
3When using supplies below ± 13 V, the 10 V reference pin must be connected to the 2 V pin in order for the AD538 to operate correctly.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
Specifications shown in boldface are tested on all production units at final electrical test. Results from those tests are used to calculate outgoing quality levels. All min
and max specifications are guaranteed, although only those shown in boldface are tested on all production units.

RE-EXAMINATION OF MULTIPLIER/DIVIDER
ACCURACY
or divider with inputs down to 100 mV, has a maximum error of
±1% of reading ±500 µV. Some sample total error calculations
for both grades over the 100:1 input range are illustrated in the
chart below. This error specification format is a familiar one to
designers and users of digital voltmeters where error is specified
as a percent of reading ± a certain number of digits on the meter
readout.
Traditionally, the “accuracy” (actually the errors) of analog
multipliers and dividers have been specified in terms of percent
of full scale. Thus specified, a 1% multiplier error with a 10 V
full-scale output would mean a worst case error of +100 mV at
“any” level within its designated output range. While this type
of error specification is easy to test evaluate, and interpret, it can
leave the user guessing as to how useful the multiplier actually is
at low output levels, those approaching the specified error limit
(in this case) 100 mV.
For operation as a multiplier or divider over a wider dynamic
range (>100:1), the AD538 has a more detailed error specifica-
tion that is the sum of three components: a percent of reading
term, an output offset term and an input offset term for the
VY/VX log ratio section. A sample application of this specifica-
tion, taken from Table I, for the AD538AD with VY = 1 V, VZ =
100 mV and VX = 10 mV would yield a maximum error of
±2.0% of reading ±500 µV ±(1 V + 100 mV)/10 mV × 250 µV
or ±2.0% of reading ±500 µV ± 27.5 mV. This example illus-
trates that with very low level inputs the AD538’s incremental
gain (VY + VZ)/VX has increased to make the input offset contri-
bution to error substantial.
The AD538’s error sources do not follow the percent of full-
scale approach to specification, thus it more optimally fits the
needs of the very wide dynamic range applications for which it is
best suited. Rather than as a percent of full scale, the AD538’s
error as a multiplier or divider for a 100:1 (100 mV to 10 V)
input range is specified as the sum of two error components: a
percent of reading (ideal output) term plus a fixed output offset.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD538 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Finally, by increasing the gain, or attenuating the output of the
log ratio subsection via resistor programming, it is possible to
raise the quantity VZ/VX to the mth power. Without external
programming, m is unity. Thus the overall AD538 transfer
function equals:
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the VZ and VX inputs connect
directly to the AD538’s input log ratio amplifiers. This subsec-
tion provides an output voltage proportional to the natural log
of input voltage VZ, minus the natural log of input voltage VX.
The output of the log ratio subsection at B can be expressed by
the transfer function:

where 0.2 < m < 5.
When the AD538 is used as an analog divider, the VY input can
be used to multiply the ratio VZ /VX by a convenient scale factor.
The actual multiplication by the VY input signal is accomplished
by adding the log of the VY input signal to the signal at C, which
is already in the log domain.
where k = 1.3806 × 10–23 J/K,
q = 1.60219 × 10–19 C,
T is in Kelvins.
The log ratio configuration may be used alone, if correctly tem-
perature compensated and scaled to the desired output level
(see Applications section).

STABILITY PRECAUTIONS
ONE-QUADRANT MULTIPLICATION/DIVISION
At higher frequencies, the multistaged signal path of the AD538,
as illustrated in Figure 10, can result in large phase shifts. If a
condition of high incremental gain exists along that path (e.g.,
VO = VY × VZ /VX = 10 V × 10 mV/10 mV = 10 V so that
∆VO /∆VX = 1000), then small amounts of capacitive feedback
from VO to the current inputs IZ or IX can result in instability.
Appropriate care should be exercised in board layout to pre-
vent capacitive feedback mechanisms under these conditions.
Figure 12 shows how the AD538 may be easily configured as a
precision one-quadrant multiplier/divider. The transfer function
VOUT = VY (VZ/VX) allows “three” independent input variables,
a calculation not available with a conventional multiplier. In
addition, the 1000:1 (i.e., 10 mV to 10 V) input dynamic range
of the AD538 greatly exceeds that of analog multipliers comput-
ing one-quadrant multiplication and division.

A stable bandgap voltage reference for scaling is included in the
AD538. It is laser-trimmed to provide a selectable voltage out-
put of +10 V buffered (Pin 4), +2 V unbuffered (Pin 5) or any
voltages between +2 V and +10.2 V buffered as shown in Figure
11. The output impedance at Pin 5 is approximately 5 kΩ. Note
that any loading of this pin will produce an error in the +10 V
reference voltage. External loads on the +2 V output should be
greater than 500 kΩ to maintain errors less than 1%.

By simply connecting the input VX (Pin 15) to the +10 V refer-
ence (Pin 4), and tying the log-ratio output at B to the antilog
input at C, the AD538 can be configured as a one-quadrant
analog multiplier with 10-volt scaling. If 2-volt scaling is desired,
VX can be tied to the +2 V reference.

As a multiplier, this circuit provides a typical bandwidth of

By using the +10 V reference as the VY input, the circuit of
Figure 12 is configured as a one-quadrant divider with a fixed
scale factor. As with the one-quadrant multiplier, the inputs
accept only single (positive) polarity signals. The output of the
one-quadrant divider with a +10 V scale factor is:

In situations not requiring both reference levels, the +2 V output
can be converted to a buffered output by tying Pins 4 and 5
together. If both references are required simultaneously, the
+10 V output should be used directly and the +2 V output
should be externally buffered.

The typical bandwidth of this circuit is 370 kHz with 1 V to

TWO-QUADRANT DIVISION
LOG RATIO OPERATION
The two-quadrant linear divider circuit illustrated in Figure 13
uses the same basic connections as the one-quadrant version.
However, in this circuit the numerator has been offset in the
positive direction by adding the denominator input voltage to it.
The offsetting scheme changes the divider’s transfer function
from:
Figure 14 shows the AD538 configured for computing the log of
the ratio of two input voltages (or currents). The output signal
from B is connected to the summing junction of the output ampli-
fier via two series resistors. The 90.9 Ω metal film resistor effec-
tively degrades the temperature coefficient of the ±3500 ppm/°C
resistor to produce a 1.09 kΩ +3300 ppm/°C equivalent value.
In this configuration, the VY input must be tied to some voltage
less than zero (–1.2 V in this case) removing this input from the
transfer function.

The 5 kΩ potentiometer controls the circuit’s scale factor ad-

offset potentiometer should be set to provide a zero output with

output of 3 V with VZ = l mV and VX = 1 V.

As long as the magnitude of the denominator input is equal to
or greater than the magnitude of the numerator input, the cir-
cuit will accept bipolar numerator voltages. However, under the
conditions of a 0 V numerator input, the output would incor-
rectly equal +14 V. The offset can be removed by connecting
the +10 V reference through resistors R1 and R2 to the output
section’s summing node I at Pin 9 thus providing a gain of 1.4
at the center of the trimming potentiometer. The pot R2 adjusts
out or corrects this offset, leaving the desired transfer function
of 10 V (VZ/VX).

The log ratio circuit shown achieves ±0.5% accuracy in the log
domain for input voltages within three decades of input range:
10 mV to 10 V. This error is not defined as a percent of full-
scale output, but as a percent of input. For example, using a
1 V/decade scale factor, a 1% error in the positive direction at
the INPUT of the log ratio amplifier translates into a 4.3 mV
deviation from the ideal OUTPUT (i.e., 1 V × log10 (1.01) =
4.3214 mV). An input error 1% in the negative direction is
slightly different, giving an output deviation of 4.3648 mV.

ANALOG COMPUTATION OF POWERS AND ROOTS
It is often necessary to raise the quotient of two input signals to
a power or take a root. This could be squaring, cubing, square-
rooting or exponentiation to some noninteger power. Examples
include power series generation. With the AD538, only one or
two external resistors are required to set ANY desired power,
over the range of 0.2 to 5. Raising the basic quantity VZ/VX to a
power greater than one requires that the gain of the AD538’s log
ratio subtractor be increased, via an external resistor between
pins A and D. Similarly, a voltage divider that attenuates the log
ratio output between points B and C will program the power to
a value less than one.
SQUARE ROOT OPERATION
The explicit square root circuit of Figure 16 illustrates a precise
method for performing a real-time square root computation. For
added flexibility and accuracy, this circuit has a scale factor
adjustment.
The actual square rooting operation is performed in this circuit
by raising the quantity VZ /VX to the one-half power via the
resistor divider network consisting of resistors RB and RC. For
maximum linearity, the two resistors should be 1% (or better)
ratio-matched metal film types.
One volt scaling is achieved by dividing-down the 2 V reference
and applying approximately 1 V to both the VY and VX inputs.
In this circuit, the VX input is intentionally set low, to about
0.95 V, so that the VY input can be adjusted high, permitting a
±5% scale factor trim. Using this trim scheme, the output volt-
age will be within ±3 mV ± 0.2% of the ideal value over a 10 V
to 1 mV input range (80 dB). For a decreased input dynamic
range of 10 mV to 10 V (60 dB) the error is even less; here the
output will be within ±2 mV ± 0.2% of the ideal value. The
bandwidth of the AD538 square root circuit is approximately
280 kHz with a 1 V p-p sine wave with a +2 V dc offset.

The optional absolute value circuit shown preceding the AD538
allows the use of bipolar input voltages. Only one op amp is
required for the absolute value function because the IZ input of
the AD538 functions as a summing junction. If it is necessary to
preserve the sign of the input voltage, the polarity of the op amp
output may be sensed and used after the computation to switch
the sign bit of a D.V.M. chip.

Many electronic transducers used in scientific, commercial or
industrial equipment monitor the physical properties of a device
and/or its environment. Sensing (and perhaps compensating for)
changes in pressure, temperature, moisture or other physical
phenomenon can be an expensive undertaking, particularly
where high accuracy and very low nonlinearity are important. In
conventional analog systems accuracy may be easily increased
by offset and scale factor trims, however, nonlinearity is usually
the absolute limitation of the sensing device.

With the ability to easily program a complex analog function,
the AD538 can effectively compensate for the nonlinearities of
an inexpensive transducer. The AD538 can be connected be-
tween the transducer preamplifier output and the next stage of
monitoring or transmitting circuitry. The recommended proce-
dure for linearizing a particular transducer is first to find the
closest function which best approximates the nonlinearity of the
device and then, to select the appropriate exponent resistor
value(s).

The circuit of Figure 17 is typical of those AD538 applications
where the quantity VZ /VX is raised to powers greater than one.
In an approximate arc-tangent function, the AD538 will accu-
rately compute the angle that is defined by X and Y displace-
ments represented by input voltages VX and VZ. With accuracy
to within one degree (for input voltages between 100 µV and
10 volts), the AD538 arc-tangent circuit is more precise than
conventional analog circuits and is faster than most digital tech-
niques. For a direct arc-tangent computation that requires fewer
external components, refer to the AD639 data sheet. The circuit

Figure 17. The Arc-Tangent Function
The VB/VA quantity is calculated in the same manner as in the
one-quadrant divider circuit, except that the resulting quotient
is raised to the 1.21 power. Resistor RA (nominally 931 Ω) sets
the power or m factor.
For the highest arc-tangent accuracy the external resistors R1
and R2 should be ratio matched; however, the offset trim
scheme shown in other circuits is not required since nonlinearity
effects are the predominant source of error. Also note that insta-
bility will occur as the output approaches 90° because, by defini-
tion, the arc-tangent function is infinite and therefore, the AD538’s
gain will be extremely high.
