inspection of the transfer function reveals that any V
OUT
can
be created with an infinitesimally small quantity within the
brackets. Then, an application circuit can be analyzed by
assigning circuit voltages for all X, Y and Z inputs and
setting the bracketed quantity equal to zero. For example,
the basic multiplier connection in Figure 1, Z
1
= V
OUT
and
Z
2
= 0. The quantity within the brackets then reduces to:
(X
OUT
– 0) = 0
SF
This approach leads to a simple relationship which can be
solved for V
OUT
to provide the closed-loop transfer function.
The scale factor is accurately factory adjusted to 10V and is
typically accurate to within 0.1% or less. The scale factor
may be adjusted by connecting a resistor or potentiometer
between pin SF and the –V
S
power supply. The value of the
external resistor can be approximated by:

THEORY OF OPERATION
The transfer function for the MPY634 is:
V
OUT
= A (X
1
– Z
2
)
SF
where:
A = open-loop gain of the output amplifier (typically
85dB at DC).
SF = Scale Factor. Laser-trimmed to 10V but adjustable
over a 3V to 10V range using external resistors.
X, Y, Z are input voltages. Full-scale input voltage
is equal to the selected SF. (Max input voltage =
±
1.25 SF).
An intuitive understanding of transfer function can be gained
by analogy to the op amp. By assuming that the open-loop
gain, A, of the output operational amplifier is infinite,
