1. Refer to Choosing the Optimum Scale Factor and
Reference Current.

adjusting gain errors. Since the voltage at pin 4 is in the
range of
±5mV, it is not practical to use a T-network to

ANTILOG OPERATION
The 4127 can also perform the antilog function. The output
is connected through a resistor, R
O, into the current input, pin
4. The input signal is connected through a gain resistor to pin
19 as shown in Figure 9.
