Logarithmic Amplifier Symbol

The following table summarizes the details of this symbol.

Description
  • Output voltage is the natural logarithm of the input voltage.
  • Uses the natural logarithm.
  • The use of |Vin|avoids the logn(-V) problem.
  • If Vin is equal to zero, Vin = E-9 is used to avoid logn(0).
  • Because logxA = lognA / lognX, obtain logxA = lognA/logx by using a gain block (amplifier) set to 1/lognX.
