LOG101AIDR datasheet by Texas Instruments

LOG101AIDR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of LOG101AIDR?
  Texas Instruments recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and to keep the input and output traces as short as possible. Additionally, it's recommended to use a common-mode choke or a ferrite bead to filter out high-frequency noise.
• How do I ensure accurate logarithmic conversion with LOG101AIDR?
  To ensure accurate logarithmic conversion, it's essential to maintain a stable input voltage, keep the input impedance low, and use a high-precision reference voltage. Additionally, the input signal should be within the recommended range, and the device should be operated within the specified temperature range.
• What is the effect of temperature on the accuracy of LOG101AIDR?
  The LOG101AIDR has a temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C, which means that the output voltage will vary by ±100 ppm for every 1°C change in temperature. This can affect the accuracy of the logarithmic conversion, especially in high-temperature applications.
• Can I use LOG101AIDR with a single-supply voltage?
  Yes, the LOG101AIDR can be used with a single-supply voltage, but it's essential to ensure that the input signal is within the recommended range and that the output voltage is properly biased. A voltage divider or an op-amp can be used to bias the output voltage to the desired level.
• How do I troubleshoot common issues with LOG101AIDR, such as non-linear output or incorrect scaling?
  Common issues with LOG101AIDR can be troubleshooted by checking the input signal, output voltage, and power supply voltage. Ensure that the input signal is within the recommended range, and the output voltage is properly biased. Also, check for any noise or interference in the system, and verify that the device is properly soldered and mounted on the PCB.
