A logarithmic amplifier commonly uses a diode or transistor junction in its feedback path because the junction has an approximately?

  • AExponential current-voltage characteristic
  • BPerfectly linear resistance
  • CInfinite breakdown voltage
  • DConstant current independent of voltage
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Exponential current-voltage characteristic
Explanation: The exponential junction law allows an op-amp feedback circuit to produce an output proportional to the logarithm of input current or voltage.
