8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

The G8195-12 photodiode was used with a fixed reverse bias voltage of 5 V. The cathode was connected to the VS+ 5-V supply, and the anode to the I1 pin. GND is used for the VCM potential. The IBIAS feature and REF165 voltage reference were not needed; therefore, the IBIAS and REF165 pins are left floating. The auxiliary amplifier was not needed; therefore, the auxiliary amplifier was placed in a buffer configuration and used to buffer the REF25 reference voltage.

GND was used for the REFA input of the logarithmic difference amplifier. The circuit output follows the expression

Equation 8. V L O G O U T = 250 mV × log 10 I 1 1 µA

such that the expected output for a 100-nA input is –500 mV, the expected output for a 10-µA input is 250 mV, and so on.
