LSP2961

Advance Data Sheet September 2001 LSP2961 Precision Log Ratio Amplifier Features I I Seven decades (1 nA to 10 mA) typical input range Internal scale factor K = 1 ± 2% (K externally adjustable): OUTPUT = K × log I REF -----------I IN (eq. 1) decade (1 nA to 1 mA) minimum, with seven-decade (1 nA to 10 mA) and eight-decade (100 pA to 10 mA) operation available with increased conformity error. The amplifier has an internal trimmed reference 1 µA ± 5% current source that is also externally adjustable using an external resistor. The output offset voltage is 100 mV maximum and can be nulled using an external potentiometer. The input current is applied to the IN pin and the corresponding output is taken from the OUTPUT pin. For a 1 V/decade application in a stable temperature environment, no external components are required to obtain the specified performance. For an application that a scale factor other than 1 V/decade is required, an external resistor connecting the SCALE FACTOR pin to either the OUTPUT pin or GND will result in less or more than 1 V/decade for the scale factor. The amplifier’s output can range from (VCC – 1 V) to (VEE + 1 V). This is ideal for the control in optical density measurements, and in other situations such as precision logarithm calculations. Each amplifier has an internally trimmed reference current of 1 µA. This reference current can be changed using an external resistor connecting to the IREF_ADJ pin, and either VCC or GND, depending on the need to increase or decrease the reference current. Additionally, the maximum output offset voltage is ±100 mV. This can be nulled using an external potentiometer connected between the ±5 V supplies and the wiper connected to the VOS_ADJ pin. The internal block diagram is shown in Figure 1. The LSP2961 is available in a 3 mm x 3 mm TSSOP package. The 8-pin LSP2961 requires one negative 5 V power supply (VEE) and one positive 5 V power supply (VCC). Refer to Table 1 for detailed pin information. Figure 3 references the external pin connections.

The voltage output of the amplifier is a logarithmic function of the ratio of a reference current (IREF) over the input current (IIN). The scale factor is set internally to 1 V/decade, and is further adjustable by adding an external resistor. The input dynamic range for the amplifier is a six- LSP2961 Precision Log Ratio Amplifier Advance Data Sheet September 2001 Description (continued) Block Diagram IREF_ADJ (3) VCC (5) REFERENCE CURRENT IN (1) VOS_ADJ (8) VIN– VIN+ 10.2 k Ω VIN+ OUTPUT (6) VIN– 160 k Ω GND (2) SCALE FACTOR (7) VEE (4) 2352.a(F) Figure 1.

These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability. Table 2.

Agere Systems employs a human-body model (HBM) and charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the circuit parameters used in the defined model. No industrywide standard has been adopted for the CDM. However, a standard HBM (resistance = 1500 Ω, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD threshold (>1500 V) presented here was obtained by using these circuit parameters. Application Considerations A typical application is shown in Figure 2 for optical light intensity detection with temperature compensation by using a thermistor with positive temperature coefficient of 0.42%. 4 Agere Systems Inc. Advance Data Sheet September 2001 LSP2961 Precision Log Ratio Amplifier Electrical Characteristics Table 3.
