GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide refers to the ADL5304 evaluation board, which
allows users to connect the ADL5304 precision log amplifier to
current sources with simple SMA connections or, with modification of the default configuration, to mount a photodiode to the
INUM input for optical power level applications.
The ADL5304 evaluation board is laid out to minimize errors
due to leakage into the sensitive INUM and IDEN nodes
through driven guards.
Slope and logarithmic intercept are programmable through
on-chip resistors and can be further optimized for specific
applications using external resistors. Additional components
can be added to optimize filtering for specific applications.
Adaptive photodiode bias is available using the IMON output to
optimize photodiode response and dark current.
Full details about the part are available in the ADL5304 data sheet,
which should be consulted when using the ADL5304-EVALZ.

EVALUATION BOARD FEATURES
POWER SUPPLY
The ADL5304 evaluation board can be powered from a single 5 V
supply for specified inputs from 1 pA to 3 mA. In single-supply
configuration, the VNEG bus is connected to ground using
Jumper P1. This is the default configuration of the board. In
single-supply operation, the V
the range of the VLOG output swing is 0.5 V to 2.5 V. Ground
referenced V
operation is not allowed in single-supply
SUM
configuration. With Jumper P1 removed, the ADL5304
evaluation board can be used in dual-supply mode. In dualsupply mode operation, the VNEG supply is connected to a
−2 V to −5 V source. This increases the specified input range
from 1 pA to 10 mA. The ADL5304 evaluation board can be
configured to operate with V
swing from −1 V to +1 V when VNEG is less than −2 V.
PROGRAMMING SLOPE AND INTERCEPT
The ADL5304 provides precision trimmed internal resistors to
allow programming options for slope and intercept without the
need for external components. The internal resistors connected
to Pin SCL1 to Pin SCL3 are accessed by Resistors R24 to R28.
Table 1 shows the values for slope, intercept, and offset available
through programming using 0 Ω resistors in the R24 to R28
positions. Additional slope, intercept, and offset values can be
configured by using nonzero resistors; however, performance
may be affected by drift and tolerance of the external components.
The intercept can also be adjusted by using both the INUM and
IDEN inputs.
PHOTODIODE CONNECTIONS
The ADL5304 evaluation board has a provision to connect a
p-intrinsic-n (PIN) photodiode to the INUM input at Connector
P3 (see Table 4). The monitor current output (I

the P4 connector (see Table 2). The 2.0 V reference can be used
in adaptive photodiode mode to set up a precise 0.5 V bias across
the photodiode. See the ADL5304 data sheet for more information. The 2.0 V reference can also be used to set a different

SHIELDS AND GUARDS
Reducing errors from external sources in a current sensing
circuit requires a different approach from the voltage sensing
input of the typical high impedance op amp circuit. Leakage
can be a significant source of error for highly sensitive log amps,
especially at the low end of their range. For example, a 1 GΩ
leakage path to ground from the INUM input with V
the default 1.5 V generates a 1.5 nA offset. The ADL5304 evaluation board makes extensive use of guards to reduce the effects
of leakage at low input levels; however, it is still important to
carefully handle and clean the ADL5304 evaluation board to
prevent contaminants from handling or leakage currents from
improper washing of the PCB. A common mistake for those
unfamiliar with low level current sensing is to attach a high
impedance scope probe or meter to measure the input for debugging. This can cause significant error, because the typical 1 M ~
100 MΩ impedance of these probes sources/sinks current from
the input depending on their bias.
In instrumentation applications where measurements <1 nA are
required, the use of triaxial cables and connectors is common to
reduce leakage through the insulating dielectric by carrying a
continuous guard from current source to sensing circuit on the
intermediate conductor. This type of guarding circuit is different from a conventional electrostatic shield used in voltage sensing
applications. An electrostatic shield relies on low impedance
and the ability to flow current freely to minimize voltage induced
on the shield that can capacitively couple into a high impedance
input. A guard is actively driven to the same voltage as the
current-carrying center conductor, eliminating leakage through
the dielectric between the center conductor and the guard. The
guard does not flow current other than the leakage from the guard
to the outer shield and is usually only connected to a single end
of the cable, because any significant current flow through the
guard can couple inductively to the center conductor. Using the
ADL5304 evaluation board, the guard can be driven either from
the current source (see Figure 5) or from the ADL5304 (see
Figure 6).
The ADL5304 evaluation board can bias the shield of a coaxial
cable that is connected to the INUM input to the nominal V
voltage by removing Resistor R41 and populating Resistor R40,
but this requires careful consideration of the environment on
the other side of the cable. For example, if the ADL5304 evaluation board is configured for V
= 1.5 V, connecting the other
SUM
end of the INUM coaxial cable to an instrument with a ground
referenced shield pulls V
to ground and collapses the input
SUM
stage of the ADL5304. Floating the current source end of the
shield provides a low leakage guard, but a separate return path
for the signal current must then be provided (see Figure 7). If
cable dielectric leakage is not a concern, the INUM input can be
connected directly to a coaxial cable with the shield, providing
signal ground (see Figure 8).

STRAY MAGNETIC FIELDS
Current input devices such as the ADL5304 are sensitive to their
environments in ways that are not typically a problem with high
impedance input devices like voltage input op amps, particularly
in high bandwidth applications where filtering is not an option.
Because of its excellent sensitivity and low noise, the ADL5304
is capable of operation at currents easily influenced by stray
magnetic fields. This can lead to unwanted signals coupling into
the ADL5304 in unexpected ways. An example of this is shown
in Figure 3. In a typical circuit testing environment, eddy currents from instrument power supplies are contained in the steel
of the test cart. The low impedance of the cart prevents the eddy
currents from generating a sufficient voltage for electrostatic
coupling into the typical voltage sensing circuit. In a current
sensing application using the ADL5304, the loop currents in the
metal cart can inductively couple into the traces and cable used
to build the test circuit and into the INUM and IDEN inputs. In
this instance, shielding and guarding are ineffective at decoupling
the interferer and receiver circuits. The best ways to prevent this
type of coupling are careful design to minimize stray magnetic
fields, increasing the distance between the interferer and receiver
circuits, removing the coupling mechanism, in this example the
steel work surface, or using Mu-Metal or similar high magnetic
permeability material to provide a magnetic shield.

VOLTAGE SOURCE OPERATION
In test situations where a precision current source is not available
or a dynamic signal is required, a voltage source or function
generator can be used to supply I
current through a resistor
NUM
in series with the INUM input. In the default configuration,
R14 is a 0 Ω, 0603 resistor. Due to the large input range of the
ADL5304, it is very difficult to find a voltage source with
sufficient range to fully exercise the ADL5304. This limitation
can be mitigated by using different resistor values to access
different segments of the ADL5304’s ra nge .
The INUM and IDEN inputs cannot source current. When
using a voltage source and series resistor to provide INUM or
IDEN current, the source voltage must always be positive
relative to the V
, the translinear device that performs the logarithmic
V
SUM
voltage. If the voltage source drops below
SUM
function saturates and the feedback amplifier rails as it attempts
to balance the loop around the translinear device. This will not
damage the ADL5304, but the recovery time of the input is
directly related to the input current and the capacitance seen by
the input. At low input currents, the input can take significantly
longer to recover from momentary transients that attempt to
source current.
SPEED AND FILTERING
Filtering to Improve Noise and Dynamic Behavior
The noise at the output of a log amp, particularly at low current
levels, leads to uncertainty in the measurement. Noise amplitude
is limited by the finite bandwidth. If measurement speed is not of
primary concern, additional filtering can reduce noise. Figure 4
shows the locations provided on the ADL5304 evaluation board
for additional external filtering.
Typically, capacitors are not used on the numerator side (I

A capacitor placed on the INUM and IDEN inputs effectively
reduces the bandwidth of the input stages. A few picofarads
of capacitance (<5 pF) reduce the bandwidth significantly for
currents below approximately 1 µA, and 1 nF to 10 nF are
normally enough to reduce the bandwidth up to the maximum
10 mA of input current. When measurement speed is of primary
importance, it is better to add filtering after the FET amp outputs,
in which case, C2 and R13 for the INDN inputs and C11 and R12
for the INNM inputs are the best locations. A bias current of
approximately 35 µA flows from the INNM and INDN pins
through Resistors R12 and R13, raising the voltage at the INNM
and INDN pins. To prevent this voltage rise from limiting headroom in the temperature compensation block, the value of R12
and R13 should not be much larger than 1 kΩ.
Adding a capacitor, C12, adds additional filtering at the buffer
output. This capacitor also helps to optimize the pulse response
by placing a zero across the feedback resistor (2.5 kΩ in the
default configuration). A good value to start with is 22 pF; this
introduces a zero at 2.9 MHz that can improve the pulse response
for input currents greater than 100 µA.

EXTERNAL CONNECTORS
ANALOG I/O CONNECTOR, P4
The analog I/O connector, P4, provides external connections
for power supplies, references, and outputs. The pinout of the
connector is shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Pin Functions for Analog I/O Connector, P4
INUM, IDEN, and VLOG are connected through standard
SMA end launch connectors. The outer shell of the INUM
connector can be connected to ground (R41) or the VSUM bus
(R40) when the ADL5304 provides the guard for low leakage
applications. IDEN and VLOG connector outer shells are
permanently connected to ground.
OUTPUT LOADING
The ADL5304 is specified into a >2 kΩ load. To maintain
stability of the VLOG output when presented with a capacitive
load, a 453 Ω resistor, R16, is placed in series with the VLOG
output to isolate the ADL5304 from the loading effects of long
cables and instrumentation. R16 can be replaced with a 0 Ω
resistor if the output load is known to be greater than 2 kΩ and
not significantly reactive.
SINGLE-/DUAL-SUPPLY JUMPER, P1
This jumper connects the VNEG rail to ground to facilitate
