1 VRDZ
Top of a Resistive Divider Network that Offsets V
LOG
to Position the Intercept. Normally connected to VREF;
may also be connected to ground when bipolar outputs are to be provided.
2 VREF Reference Output Voltage of 2.5 V.
3 IREF Accepts (Sinks) Reference Current, I

.
4 INPT
Accepts (Sinks) Photodiode Current, I
PD
. Usually connected to photodiode anode such that photo current
flows into INPT.
5 VSUM
Guard Pin. Used to shield the INPT current line and for optional adjustment of the INPT and I
