DESCRIPTION
The LOG101 is a versatile integrated circuit that computes the logarithm or log ratio of an input current relative to a reference current. The LOG101 is tested over a wide dynamic range of input signals. In log ratio applications, a signal current can come from a photodiode, and a reference current from a resistor in series with a precision external reference. The output signal at VOUT is trimmed to 1V per decade of input current allowing seven decades of input current dynamic range. Low DC offset voltage and temperature drift allow accurate measurement of low-level signals over a wide environmental temperature range. The LOG101 is specified over the temperature range –5° C to +75 ° C, with operation over –40°C to +85°C.
Note: Protected under US Patent #6,667,650; other patents pending.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The LOG101 is a true logarithmic amplifier that uses the base-emitter voltage relationship of bipolar transistors to compute the logarithm, or logarithmic ratio of a current ratio. Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for operation of the LOG101. In order to reduce the influence of lead inductance of power-supply lines, it is recommended that each supply be bypassed with a 10µF tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 1000pF ceramic capacitor, as shown in Figure 1. Connecting the capacitors as close to the LOG101 as possible will contribute to noise reduction as well.
INPUT CURRENT RANGE
To maintain specified accuracy, the input current range of the LOG101 should be limited from 100pA to 3.5mA. Input currents outside of this range may compromise LOG101 performance. Input currents larger than 3.5mA result in increased nonlinearity. An absolute maximum input current rating of 10mA is included to prevent excessive power dissipation that may damage the logging transistor. On ±5V supplies, the total input current (I1 + I2) is limited to 4.5mA. Due to compliance issues internal to the LOG101, to accommodate larger total input currents, supplies should be increased. Currents smaller than 100pA will result in increased errors due to the input bias currents of op amps A1 and A2 (typically 5pA). The input bias currents may be compensated for, as shown in Figure 2. The input stages of the amplifiers have FET inputs, with input bias current doubling every 10°C, which makes the nulling technique shown practical only where the temperature is fairly stable.

SETTING THE REFERENCE CURRENT
When the LOG101 is used to compute logarithms, either I1 or I2 can be held constant and becomes the reference current to which the other is compared. VOUT is expressed as: VOUT = (1V) • log (I1/I2) (1)
V+ V+ I1 = 2.5nA to 1mA REF3025 2.5V 1GΩ to 2.5kΩ 100kΩ I2 = 2.5nA 10MΩ +25mV +2.5V 100Ω 8 3 CC 5 V– 6 GND LOG101 1 4 3 VOUT
IREF can be derived from an external current source (such as shown in Figure 3), or it may be derived from a voltage source with one or more resistors. When a single resistor is used, the value may be large depending on IREF. If IREF is 10nA and +2.5V is used: RREF = 2.5V/10nA = 250MΩ

FREQUENCY COMPENSATION
Frequency compensation for the LOG101 is obtained by connecting a capacitor between pins 3 and 8. The size of the capacitor is a function of the input currents, as shown in the Typical Characteristic Curves (Minimum Value of Compensation Capacitor). For any given application, the smallest value of the capacitor which may be used is determined by the maximum value of I2 and the minimum value of I1. Larger values of CC will make the LOG101 more stable, but will reduce the frequency response. In an application, highest overall bandwidth can be achieved by detecting the signal level at VOUT, then switching in appropriate values of compensation capacitors.
FIGURE 3. Temperature Compensated Current Source. A voltage divider may be used to reduce the value of the resistor, as shown in Figure 4. When using this method, one must consider the possible errors caused by the amplifier’s input offset voltage. The input offset voltage of amplifier A1 has a maximum value of 1.5mV, making VREF a suggested value of 100mV.

NEGATIVE INPUT CURRENTS
The LOG101 will function only with positive input currents (conventional current flows into pins 1 and 8). In situations where negative input currents are needed, the circuits in Figures 6, 7, and 8 may be used.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The frequency response curve seen in the Typical Characteristic Curves is shown for constant DC I1 and I2 with a small signal AC current on one input. The 3dB frequency response of the LOG101 is a function of the magnitude of the input current levels and of the value of the frequency compensation capacitor. See Typical Characteristic Curve “3dB Frequency Response” for details. The transient response of the LOG101 is different for increasing and decreasing signals. This is due to the fact that a log amp is a nonlinear gain element and has different gains

VOLTAGE INPUTS
The LOG101 gives the best performance with current inputs. Voltage inputs may be handled directly with series resistors, but the dynamic input range is limited to approximately three decades of input voltage by voltage noise and offsets. The transfer function of Equation (13) applies to this configuration.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
LOG RATIO
One of the more common uses of log ratio amplifiers is to measure absorbance. A typical application is shown in Figure 9. Absorbance of the sample is A = logλ1´/ λ1 If D1 and D2 are matched A ∝ (1V) logI1 / I2 DATA COMPRESSION In many applications the compressive effects of the logarithmic transfer function are useful. For example, a LOG101 preceding a 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter can produce the dynamic range equivalent to a 20-bit converter. (3)

Figure 12 shows the graphical representation of the transfer over valid operating range for the LOG101.
ACCURACY
Accuracy considerations for a log ratio amplifier are somewhat more complicated than for other amplifiers. This is because the transfer function is nonlinear and has two inputs, each of which can vary over a wide dynamic range. The accuracy for any combination of inputs is determined from the total error specification.

TOTAL ERROR
The total error is the deviation (expressed in mV) of the actual output from the ideal output of VOUT = 1V • log (I1/I2). Thus, VOUT(ACTUAL) = VOUT(IDEAL) ± Total Error. (6)
to I2 is shown in Figure 13. The OPA703 is configured as a level shifter with inverting gain and is used to scale the photodiode current directly into the A/D converter input voltage range. The wide dynamic range of the LOG101 is also useful for measuring avalanche photodiode current (APD) (see Figure 14).
It represents the sum of all the individual components of error normally associated with the log amp when operated in the current input mode. The worst-case error for any given ratio of I1/I2 is the largest of the two errors when I1 and I2 are considered separately. Temperature can affect total error.
LOG CONFORMITY
For the LOG101, log conformity is calculated the same as linearity and is plotted I1 /I2 on a semi-log scale. In many applications, log conformity is the most important specification. This is because bias current errors are negligible (5pA compared to input currents of 100pA and above) and the scale factor and offset errors may be trimmed to zero or removed by system calibration. This leaves log conformity as the major source of error. Log conformity is defined as the peak deviation from the best fit straight line of the VOUT versus log (I1/I2) curve. This is expressed as a percent of ideal full-scale output. Thus, the nonlinearity error expressed in volts over m decades is: (7) VOUT(NONLIN) = 1V/dec • 2NmV where N is the log conformity error, in percent.
ERRORS RTO AND RTI
As with any transfer function, errors generated by the function itself may be Referred-to-Output (RTO) or Referred-toInput (RTI). In this respect, log amps have a unique property: Given some error voltage at the log amp’s output, that error corresponds to a constant percent of the input regardless of the actual input level.
USING A LARGER REFERENCE VOLTAGE REDUCES OFFSET ERRORS
Using a larger reference voltage to create the reference current minimizes errors due to the LOG101’s input offset voltage. Maintaining an increasing output voltage as a function of increasing photodiode current is also important in many optical sensing applications. All zeros from the A/D converter output represent zero or low-scale photodiode current. Inputting the reference current into I1, and designing IREF such that it is as large or larger than the expected maximum photodiode current is accomplished using this requirement. The LOG101 configured with the reference current connecting I1 and the photodiode current connecting
