SwOpAmp Makes Square Wave Generator - 02/15/96 EDN-Design Ideas: (design idea added 5/03)

Synchronous Modulator - This unique circuit uses a very small amount of battery current and has excellent carrier suppression. Its only shortcoming is that you must limit the input signal to 0.7 Vp-p in order to prevent distortion. To use higher input voltages, replace Q3 with a JFET. A MOSFET doesn’t do as well as an NPN transistor.  Designed by Andrew R. Morris  (added 09/05)

Synchronous Modulator-1 - This is an OpAmp version of the synchronous modulator I submitted earlier. It has more consistent performance over varying power supply voltage than the discrete version, but it still has the 0.7 Vp-p limitation on the maximum input voltage. You should use a JFET or a CMOS switch in place of Q1 if you need to accommodate a higher input voltage....  Designed by Andrew R. Morris  (added 09/05)
