LOGARITHMIC AND LOG RATIO AMPLIFIER  
DESCRIPTION  
FEATURES  
The LOG104 is a versatile integrated circuit that computes  
the logarithm or log ratio of an input current relative to a  
reference current.  
EASY-TO-USE COMPLETE CORE FUNCTION  
HIGH ACCURACY: 0.01% FSO Over 5 Decades  
WIDE INPUT DYNAMIC RANGE:  
The LOG104 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.  
7.5 Decades, 100pA to 3.5mA  
LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT: 1mA  
WIDE SUPPLY RANGE: ±4.5V to ±18V  
The output signal at VOUT is trimmed to 0.5V per decade of  
input current, allowing seven decades of input current, dy-  
namic range.  
APPLICATIONS  
LOG, LOG RATIO COMPUTATION:  
Communication, Analytical, Medical, Industrial,  
Test, General Instrumentation  
Low DC offset voltage and temperature drift allow accurate  
measurement of low-level signals over a wide environmental  
temperature range. The LOG104 is specified over the tem-  
perature range –5°C to +75°C, with operation over –40°C to  
+85°C.

ESD damage can range from subtle performance degrada-  
tion to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits  
may be more susceptible to damage because very small  
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its  
published specifications.  
NOTES: (1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.  
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade  
device reliability. (2) Short-circuit to ground.

NOTES:(1) Log Conformity Error is peak deviation from the best-fit straight line of VOUT versus log (I1/I2) curve expressed as a percent of peak-to-peak full-scale.  
(2) May require higher supply for full dynamic range.  
(3) Output core log function is trimmed to 0.5V output per decade change of input current.  
(4) Worst-case Total Error for any ratio of I1/I2 is the largest of the two errors, when I1 and I2 are considered separately.  
(5) Total I1 + I2 should be kept below 4.5mA on ±5V supply.  
(6) Bandwidth (3dB) and transient response are a function of both the compensation capacitor and the level of input current.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
To maintain specified accuracy, the input current range of the  
LOG104 should be limited from 100pA to 3.5mA. Input currents  
outside of this range may compromise LOG104 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.  
The LOG104 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 LOG104. 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 LOG104  
as possible will contribute to noise reduction as well.  
On ±5V supplies, the total input current (I1 + I2) is limited to  
4.5mA. Due to compliance issues internal to the LOG104, to  
accommodate larger total input currents, supplies should be  
increased.  
Currents smaller than 100pA will result in increased errors due  
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.

IREF can be derived from an external current source (such as

FREQUENCY COMPENSATION  
IREF  
=
RREF  
Frequency compensation for the LOG104 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 Compen-  
sation 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 LOG104 more stable, but will  
reduce the frequency response.  
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 amplifiers  
input offset voltage. The input offset voltage of amplifier A1  
has a maximum value of 1.5mV, making VREF a suggested  
value of 100mV.  
In an application, highest overall bandwidth can be achieved  
by detecting the signal level at VOUT, then switching in  
appropriate values of compensation capacitors.

The 3dB frequency response of the LOG104 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 Responsefor details.  
OPA703  
IOUT  
The transient response of the LOG104 is different for in-  
creasing 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 LOG104 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.

Using the base-emitter voltage relationship of matched  
bipolar transistors, the LOG104 establishes a logarith-  
mic function of input current ratios. Beginning with the

ACCURACY  
2.0  
VOUT = (0.5V) LOG (I1/I2)  
Accuracy considerations for a log ratio amplifier are some-  
what 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  
MEASURING AVALANCHE PHOTODIODE CURRENT  
The total error is the deviation (expressed in mV) of the  
actual output from the ideal output of VOUT = 0.5V log(I1/I2).  
The wide dynamic range of the LOG104 is useful for measuring  
avalanche photodiode current (APD), as shown in Figure 13.  
Thus,  
LOG CONFORMITY  
(6)  
VOUT(ACTUAL) = VOUT(IDEAL) ± Total Error.  
For the LOG104, 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 specifica-  
tion. This is true 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.  
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.  
ERRORS RTO AND RTI  
As with any transfer function, errors generated by the func-  
tion itself may be Referred-to-Output (RTO) or Referred-to-  
Input (RTI). In this respect, log amps have a unique property:  
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:  
Given some error voltage at the log amps output, that error  
corresponds to a constant percent of the input regardless of  
the actual input level.  
(7)  
VOUT (NONLIN) = 0.5V/dec 2Nm V  
where N is the log conformity error, in percent.
