GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model 429, an extremely fast multiplier/divider, should be
considered if bandwidth, temperature coefficient, or accuracy are
critical parameters. Based on the transconductance principle to achieve
high speed, the model 429 offers a unique combination of features,
those being ½% max error (429B) and 10MHz small signal bandwidth.
Both models 429A and 429B are internally trimmed achieving
max errors of 1.0% and 0.5 % respectively. By fine trimming
the offset and feedthrough with external trim potentiometers
typical performance may be improved to 0.5% for the 429A and
0.2% for the 429B.In addition to high accuracy and high
bandwidth, the model 429 offers exceptionally good stability for
changes in ambient temperature. Model 429B is 100%
temperature tested in order to guarantee an overall accuracy
temperature coefficient of only 0.04%/"C max. Additionally,
offset drift is held to only I mV/
°C max. To satisfy OEM
requirements of low cost, the 429 uses transconductance
principles with the latest design techniques and components to
achieve guaranteed performance at competitive prices.
MULTIPLICATION ACCURACY
Multiplication accuracy is generally specified as a percentage of full
scale output. This implies that error is independent of signal level.
However, for signal levels less than 2/3 of full scale, error tends to
decrease roughly in proportion to the input signal. A good
approximation of error behavior is:
f (X, Y)
≈ |X|
∈
X, + |Y| ∈Y, where ∈X and ∈Y are the fractional
onlinearities specified for the X and Y inputs
EXAMPLE.- For Model 429A
∈
X = 0.5 %, ∈Y = 0. 3%. What
maximum error can one expect for x = 5V, y = 1V, providing
the offset is zeroed out? Can one get less by interchanging inputs?
1. Nominal output is XY/10 = (5)(1)/10 = 50mV
2. Expected error is (5) (0.5%) + (1) (0.3%)
28mV, 5.6% of output (0.28% of F.S.)
3. Interchanging inputs (1) (0.5%) + (5) (0.3%) =
20mV, 4.0% of output (0.20% of F.S.)
Compare this with the overly conservative error predicted by the
overall 1% of full scale specification: 100mV, or 20% of output.
FREQUENCY RELATED SPECIFICATIONS
Accuracy, and its components, feedthrough, linearity, gain, (and phase
shift) are frequency dependent. Feedthrough is constant up to 100kHz
for the Y input, and up to 400kHz for the X input. Beyond these
frequencies it rises at approximately a 6dB/octave rate due to
distributed capacitive coupling. A plot of typical feedthrough vs.
frequency is shown in Figure 1. For this measurement one input is
driven with a 20V p-p sine wave while the other input is grounded and
the feedthrough is measured at the output. This error will decrease
roughly in proportion to the input signal, and will also vary with
temperature (about 0.01%/
°C of the nonzero input). Low frequency
feedthrough error can be further reduced from the internally trimmed
limits by the use of optional external potentiometers.
