Description

The LOG200 is a wide-dynamic-range current-to-voltage amplifier specifically designed to optimize current measurements across 160dB of dynamic range with unparalleled accuracy and speed for optical communications, medical diagnostics, and industrial process-control measurements. The LOG200 features two logarithmic amplifiers followed by a high-accuracy differential amplifier that convert current signals into a voltage representing the log-compressed ratio of the two currents. The current inputs are designed to feature a high-speed response from one input, and a highly accurate reference signal on the other input, allowing for a unique combination of fast transient response and high logarithmic conformity.

The LOG200 ratio is internally set to 250mV/decade of current-to-voltage conversion. The device integrates an uncommitted high-speed amplifier to allow the output to be configured for differential or filtered responses, with a fast settling time to drive successive approximation analog-to-digital converters (SAR ADCs). The LOG200 also features a separate reference current and reference voltage designed to configure the device for optimized input current and common-mode voltages.

The LOG200 can be powered in a single-supply (4.5V to 12.6V) or dual-supply (±2.25V to ±6.3V) configuration and is specified from –40°C to +125°C.
