  • Patent number: 5731695
    Abstract: First and second analogue signal processing circuit has first to fourth input terminals and first and second output terminals, and functions such that the first and second output terminals have an equal potential and that a difference between output currents of the first and second output terminals is proportional to a product obtained by multiplying a potential difference between the first and second input terminals by a potential difference between the third and fourth input terminals. The first input terminal of the first analogue signal processing circuit is supplied with an input signal, and the second input terminal is supplied with ground potential. The third input terminal is supplied with a second reference potential, and the fourth input terminal is supplied with a third reference potential. The first input terminal of the second analogue signal processing circuit is supplied with an output signal from an operational amplifier, and the second input terminal is supplied with the ground potential.

  • Patent number: 5493699
    Abstract: A signal processing circuit includes two analog signal processors, an operational amplifier, a rectifier, and a reference potential generator. Each analog signal processor has four input terminals and two output terminals, and is designed to operate such that the first and second output terminals are set at the same potential and that a current difference between the first and second output terminals is proportional to a product of a potential difference between the first and second input terminal and a potential difference between the third and fourth input terminal. The first, second, third and fourth input terminals of the first analog signal processor are connected to receive an input signal, a first reference potential, a second reference potential, and a third reference potential, respectively. The output terminals of the first analog signal processor are connected to the negative and positive input terminals of the operational amplifier, respectively.
