I have a voltage signal and I want to design a circuit that can do squaring of this signal ( raise it to power 2). For example when I read the output, instead of having 2 V I get 2^2= 4 V.

Is there a way to achieve that?

Thanks

  • Consider something related to the MC1496? – jonk Jun 28 '18 at 06:25

Use an analogue multiplierr (basically a kind of VCA) and apply the signal to both inputs. Take care about headroom though.
