LOG200 Evaluation Module
Description
The LOG200 evaluation module (EVM) is a
development platform for evaluating the LOG200,
which is a precision, high-speed logarithmic amplifier
with integrated photodiode bias and dark current
correction. The LOG200 is optimized for current
measurements across 160 dB wide dynamic range,
over several decades with unparalleled speed and
accuracy.
Features
High-accuracy logarithmic transfer function
Logarithmic ratio internally set to 250 mV/decade
of current-to-voltage conversion
Footprint for photosensor connection

    The LOG200 device integrates an uncommitted high-speed amplifier to allow the output to be configured for differential or filtered responses. The LOG200EVM operates over a 4.5 V to 12 V range unipolar supply or dual supply of ±2.25V to ±6 V supply. Table 2-2 for details.
  • Page 3 PCB traces that allow small currents to leak from the input traces or other sensitive nodes, degrading performance. For best performance, make sure to keep the LOG200EVM as clean as possible. The following list shows best practices to clean the evaluation board and to help prevent the EVM from becoming contaminated: •...

    The LOG200EVM provides a footprint to connect a photodiode to the I1 input pin. The photosensor is kept in close proximity to the I1 input to minimize parasitic capacitance. The evaluation board provides all the necessary photosensor and adaptive bias circuit connections through resistor R2, R3 and optional capacitors C1, C3.
