Introduction
Log and Antilog Amplifiers are non-linear circuits in which the output voltage is proportional to the logarithm (or exponent) of the input. It is well known that some processes such as multiplication and division, can be performed by addition and subtraction of logs. They have numerous applications in electronics, such as:
Multiplication and division, Powers and roots Compression and Decompression True RMS detection Process control
Most logarithmic amplifiers are based on the inherent logarithmic relationship between the collector current, Ic, and the base-emitter voltage, vbe, in silicon bipolar transistors.
