Key Features

    • Full Scale Accuracy 0.5%
    • Temperature Compensated Operation 0oC to 70oC
    • Scale Factor, Adjustable 1V/Decade
    • Dynamic Current Range 120dB

Description

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.
