MAX4206ETE+

The MAX4206ETE+ is a precision transimpedance logarithmic amplifier with over 5 decades of dynamic range in 16 pin TQFN package. It computes log ratio of an input current relative to a reference current (externally or internally generated) and provides a corresponding voltage output with default 0.25V/decade scale factor. The device operates from single 2.7V to 11V supply or from dual ±2.7V to ±5.5V supplies and is capable of measuring five decades of input current across a 10nA to 1mA range. The uncommitted op-amp of MAX4206 can be used for a variety of functions including filtering noise, adding offset and adding additional gain. A 0.5V reference is also included to generate an optional precision current reference using an external resistor which adjusts the log intercept of MAX4206. The output offset voltage and adjustable scale factor are also set using external resistors. The MAX4206 is used in photodiode current monitoring applications.
