LOG114EVM
The LOG114EVM comes completely assembled and constructed to operate on a single 5-V power supply.
The circuit used in the LOG114EVM is designed to operate over a wide range of input currents (10 nA to
10 mA) and scales the output voltage from 1.15 V to 2.75 V. There are three distinct sections to the
LOG114EVM circuit: a precision level shifter, the signal path, and the high-current linearity correction
section. Each section is described below to familiarize you with the circuit functionality and operation.
2.1
Level Shifter
A precision level shifter is required to operate the LOG114 on a single power supply. On the
LOG114EVM, the level shifter circuit is constructed by deriving a bias voltage of 2 V from the 2.5-V
voltage reference internal to the LOG114. This level shift of 2 V is required to keep the nodes internal to
the LOG114 properly biased when operating from a single power supply. Resistors R9 and R10 form a
voltage divider that is then buffered by the OPA365 amplifier. The output of the OPA365 is a fixed voltage
of 2 V, independent of the power-supply voltage or input signal. C2 is used to bypass the power supply for
the OPA365. The level shifter circuit is shown in Figure 2.

2.2
Signal Path
The LOG114 has two inputs, I1 and I2. Input I1 is used for the input signal (usually from a photodiode) and
I2 is a fixed-current reference signal. This fixed-current reference signal is derived from the 2.5-V voltage
reference internal to the LOG114 and the 2-V output from the level shifter. The reference current into I2 is
given by Equation 1.
(2.5 V - 2 V)
IREF =
= 500 nA
1 MW
(1)
The input current must flow into I1 and comes directly from the anode of a photodiode. In non-optical
applications, the input current could also be derived from a resistor, or a variety of other sources (see
Section 3.4). For proper operation, each input to the LOG114 (I1 and I2) requires the current to flow into
the LOG114.
The output from the LOG114 amplifier A3 is called VLOGOUT. The relationship between VLOGOUT, I1 and I2,
and the bias voltage generated by the level shifter is described by Equation 2.

The VLOGOUT output is then scaled by resistors R7 and R8. These resistors divide the signal before
combining with the high-current linearity correction section. Combining the input signal and linearity
correction signal is accomplished with amplifier A4 and resistors R5 and R6. Capacitor C1 is used to
bypass the power supply for the LOG114. The signal path circuit is shown in Figure 3.

High-Current Linearity Correction
The LOG114 is capable of handling a wide dynamic range of currents, from less than 100 pA in a carefully
designed PCB to 10 mA in high-current applications. Because the LOG114 was designed for high speeds,
the transistors that provide feedback around amplifiers A1 and A2 within the LOG114 have a small series
resistance, RS. This small series resistance causes a deviation from the ideal LOG114 transfer function at
input currents that exceed approximately 1 mA. The modified equation for VLOGOUT that shows this
deviation from the ideal is given in Equation 3.

The high-current linearity correction circuit (refer to Figure 4) creates an error signal that is proportional to
input current I1 by using R2, R3 and R4, and amplifier A5. Resistor R1 is used to properly level-shift the
resulting output signal. The signal at the output from amplifier A5 is then coupled to the input of amplifier
A4 in a manner that subtracts the error signal from the output of the EVM, VOUT.

Connecting to the LOG114EVM
The LOG114 requires only a few connections to operate: a 5-V power supply, an input source such as a
photodiode or resistor, and a digital voltmeter or oscilloscope.
3.1
Electrostatic Discharge Warning
CAUTION
Many of the components on the LOG114EVM are susceptible to damage by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Customers are advised to observe proper ESD
handling precautions when unpacking and handling the EVM, including the use
of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
3.2
Basic Connections
The connections for 5 V and ground are clearly marked on the LOG114EVM PCB. Figure 6 shows how to
properly connect the power supply to the connector.

A 0.5-V reverse bias can be easily placed across the photodiode by connecting the photodiode as shown
in Figure 9. When connecting the photodiode in this configuration, the high-current linearity correction
circuitry is bypassed.

Using a Resistor
Using a resistor instead of a photodiode to create an input current is quite simple. As Figure 10 shows, a
1-MΩ resistor is placed between VREF and the input I1. In this case, the input current I1 is determined by
Equation 4.

I1 = REF

In the case where I1 = 500 nA = IREF, the VLOGOUT terminal is equal to the level shifting bias voltage of 2 V
and the VOUT terminal is equal to 1.5 V. The circuit in Figure 10, while convenient for creating an input
current, does not take advantage of the high-current linearity correction circuitry. To use this circuitry, a
second power supply must be used and configured as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. Using a Resistor and the High Current Linearity Correction Circuitry
Changing the input voltage or the resistor value changes the input current I1 (I1 = VIN/R) and results in a
change for the VLOGOUT terminal voltage according to Equation 5.

For input currents less than 1 mA, this equation simplifies to Equation 2.
