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 to convert current signals into a single-ended voltage that represents 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 an integrated reference current and reference voltages, simplifying configuration of the device for common input current ranges and common-mode voltages.
