  • Abstract
    A CMOS-circuit, which works as a four quadrant magnetic induction-voltage multiplier, is described. The sensitive elements are CMOS-compatible bipolar magnetotransistors. The logarithmized signal from the magnetotransistors is multiplied by the input-voltage in a transconductance multiplier based on lateral bipolar transistors. The circuit shows good linearity for fields lower than 0.1 Tesla and works at a supply current of only 1 mA.
