ICL8048
Log Amplifier
The ICL8048 is a monolithic logarithmic amplifier capable of
handling six decades of current input, or three decades of
voltage input. It is fully temperature compensated and is
nominally designed to provide 1V of output for each decade
change of input. For increased flexibility, the scale factor,
reference current and offset voltage are externally
adjustable.
