A digital technique eliminates the need for an analog multiplier

Traditionally, multiplying two analog signals involves the use of analog multipliers. Design engineers digitize analog signals using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and then run the code on a microcontroller to perform digital multiplication. However, another digital technique employing an XNOR logic gate alongside an ADC performs multiplication on two bitstreams, avoiding the cost of the analog multiplier.
