Product details
Overview
AD534LH from Analog Devices is a laser-trimmed, monolithic four-quadrant analog multiplier IC with ±0.25% maximum total multiplication error over 0°C to +70°C, differential high-impedance X/Y/Z inputs, 10 V nominal scale factor (adjustable down to 3 V), and 90 μV rms wideband noise (10 Hz–10 kHz). It performs precision multiplication, division, squaring, and square-rooting in high-stability analog signal processing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AD534LH datasheet, AD534LH pinout, AD534LH application, or AD534LH equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, TO-100 metal-can package details, functional block context, real-world use cases in RMS-to-DC conversion and voltage-controlled oscillators, and two validated alternative grades for design flexibility.
Technical Context
The AD534LH implements a translinear Gilbert-cell multiplier core with three laser-trimmed voltage-to-current converters and an on-chip buried Zener reference. Its transfer function is VOUT = [(X₁ − X₂)(Y₁ − Y₂)/SF] + Z₂, where SF is pretrimmed to 10.00 V and adjustable via external resistor between −VS and SF pin.
All six inputs (X₁/X₂, Y₁/Y₂, Z₁/Z₂) are fully differential and high-impedance (10 MΩ), enabling floating-ratio computation and common-mode rejection up to 90 dB at dc. The output amplifier provides 70 dB open-loop gain, ±11 V swing into ≥2 kΩ, and 20 V/μs slew rate - supporting closed-loop configurations without external op amps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Total multiplication error | ±0.25% max (−10 V ≤ X,Y ≤ +10 V, 25°C); guarantees accuracy without external trimming |
| Scale factor | 10.00 V nominal, adjustable to 3 V via external resistor; enables gain scaling from ×1 to ×100 |
| Wideband noise | 90 μV rms (10 Hz–10 kHz); supports low-noise RMS-to-DC and precision modulation |
| Small-signal bandwidth | 1 MHz (VOUT = 0.1 V rms); sufficient for audio and medium-frequency control loops |
| Input common-mode range | ±10 V differential or common-mode; allows direct interfacing with ±10 V DACs and sensors |
| Supply voltage range | ±8 V to ±18 V; operates from standard ±15 V rails with headroom for ±11 V output swing |
| Output short-circuit current | 30 mA; drives low-impedance loads or integrator capacitors directly |
Pinout & Package
AD534LH is supplied in a hermetically sealed 10-pin TO-100 metal can (H-10 package), rated for 0°C to +70°C operation. Thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W; θJC = 25°C/W. Header-mounted −VS pin ensures low-inductance ground return.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (X2) | Inverting differential input of X multiplicand | Completes X-input pair; required for true differential operation and CMRR >80 dB |
| 2 (SF) | Scale factor adjustment node | Connect external resistor to −VS to set SF from 3 V to 10 V; determines full-scale gain |
| 3 (Y1) | Noninverting differential input of Y multiplicand | Paired with Y2; enables floating Y-source connection in divider/squarer modes |
| 4 (Y2) | Inverting differential input of Y multiplicand | Provides full differential Y path; critical for feedthrough suppression below 0.1 mV p-p |
| 5 (−VS) | Negative supply rail | Connected to metal header; must be low-impedance for stable bias and noise performance |
| 6 (Z2) | Inverting differential input of Z reference/summing node | High-Z summing point; adds offset or feedback signal with unity gain to output |
| 7 (Z1) | Noninverting differential input of Z reference | Completes Z-differential pair; enables true floating numerator in division mode |
| 8 (OUT) | Product output | Low-impedance (0.1 Ω), ±11 V swing; drives cables, filters, or integrators directly |
| 9 (+VS) | Positive supply rail | Must be decoupled locally; supplies all internal bias and amplifier stages |
| 10 (X1) | Noninverting differential input of X multiplicand | Primary X input; paired with X2 to reject common-mode noise in sensor interfaces |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar analog multiplier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD534KH | ±0.5% max multiplication error; same TO-100 package, identical pinout and transfer function | Lower accuracy grade suitable for cost-sensitive designs where ±0.5% error is acceptable | Select AD534KH when full ±0.25% AD534LH accuracy is not required and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| AD534SH | ±1.0% max error; specified for −55°C to +125°C; same electrical specs otherwise | Extended temperature range for aerospace, defense, or under-hood automotive use | Choose AD534SH only when operation beyond +70°C is mandatory - not a drop-in replacement for AD534LH |
Compared with AD534LH, AD534KH offers identical functionality at reduced accuracy for cost-driven applications, while AD534SH trades grade-level precision for extended temperature capability - neither is pin-compatible across temperature grades, and both require validation in final thermal environment.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed total multiplication error for AD534LH over its operating temperature range?
The AD534LH guarantees ±0.5% maximum total multiplication error across its full rated temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, with ±0.25% typical at 25°C. This specification is tested on all production units and reflects worst-case deviation from ideal transfer function under specified supply and load conditions - no external trimming is required to meet this limit.
Can AD534LH operate with supply voltages other than ±15 V?
Yes, AD534LH operates with supply voltages from ±8 V to ±18 V. At ±15 V, it delivers ±11 V output swing into ≥2 kΩ; at ±8 V, output swing reduces proportionally but maintains full functionality. Supply rejection is ±0.01%, ensuring stable performance even with ±1 V ripple on either rail - critical for battery-powered or noisy industrial environments.
How does the scale factor (SF) pin affect AD534LH noise performance?
Reducing the AD534LH scale factor from 10 V to 3 V via external resistor lowers wideband noise from 90 μV rms to 45 μV rms and noise spectral density from 0.8 μV/√Hz to 0.4 μV/√Hz. This occurs because lower SF increases effective signal gain without raising input-referred noise - improving SNR for small-signal applications like low-level sensor amplification.
Is AD534LH suitable for division applications with floating numerator and denominator inputs?
Yes, AD534LH supports true floating-ratio division: both numerator (Z₁/Z₂) and denominator (X₁/X₂) accept fully differential, high-impedance inputs. Its transfer function VOUT = [10 V (Z₂ − Z₁)/(X₁ − X₂)] + Y₁ enables accurate ratio computation even when neither signal shares ground - essential for isolated current/voltage sensing in motor drives or power supplies.
What package type and lead finish does AD534LH use?
AD534LH is supplied in a hermetically sealed 10-pin TO-100 metal can (H-10 package) with tin-lead (SnPb) solderable leads. The package features a metal header for −VS, providing low-inductance grounding and excellent EMI immunity - validated for use in MIL-STD-883 Class B environments and high-reliability instrumentation.
