DESIGN EXAMPLE FOR DUAL-SUPPLY

CONFIGURATION

Given these conditions:

D V+ = 5V and V− = −5V

D 100pA ≤ Input signal

D The stage following the LOG114 is an analog-to-

digital converter (ADC) with +5V supply and

+2.5V reference voltage, so VO4 swings from

+0.5V to +2.5V.

Due to LOG114 symmetry, you can choose either

I1 or I2 as the signal input pin. Choosing I1 as the

reference makes the resistor network around A4

simpler. (Note: Current must flow into pins 3 (I1) and

pin 4 (I2).)

Select the magnitude of the reference current.

Since the signal (I2) spans eight decades, set I1 to

µA − four decades above the minimum I2 value.

(Note that it does not have to be placed in the

middle. If I2 spanned seven decades, I1 could be set

three decades above the minimum and four

decades below the maximum I2 value.) This

configuration results in more swing amplitude in the

negative direction, which provides more sensitivity

(

∆VO4 per ∆I2) when the current signal decreases.

Using Equation (1) calculate the expected range of

log outputs at VLOGOUT:

Therefore, the expected voltage range at the output

LOGOUT v) 1.5V

The A4 amplifier scales and offsets the VLOGOUT

signal for use by the ADC using the equation:

O4 +*SFACTOR

LOGOUT ) VOFFSET

The A4 amplifier is specified with a rated output swing

capability from (V−) +0.5V to (V+) − 0.5V.

Therefore, choose the final A4 output:

≤ VO4 ≤ +2.5V

This output results in a 2.5V range for the 3V VLOGOUT

range, or 2.5V/3V scaling factor.

When I2 = 10mA, VLOGOUT = −1.5V. Using the

equation in step 5:

Therefore, VOFFSET = 0V
