FEATURES
Optimized for fiber optic photodiode interfacing Measures current over 3 decades Law conformance 0.1 dB from 100 nA to 100 μA Single- or dual-supply operation (3 V to ±5.5 V total) Full log-ratio capabilities Temperature stable Nominal slope of 10 mV/dB (200 mV/decade) Nominal intercept of 1 nA (set by external resistor) Optional adjustment of slope and intercept Rapid response time for a given current level Miniature 16-lead chip scale package (LFCSP 3 mm × 3 mm) Low power: ~5 mA quiescent current APPLICATIONS
Low cost optical power measurement Wide range baseband logarithmic compression Measurement of current and voltage ratios Optical absorbance measurement GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A single-supply voltage between 3 V and 5.5 V is adequate; dual supplies may optionally be used. Low quiescent current (5 mA typical) permits use in battery-operated applications. IPD, the 100 nA to 100 µA input current applied to the INPT pin, is the collector current of an optimally scaled NPN transistor that converts this current to a voltage (VBE) with a precise logarithmic relationship.
