1 Default setup for single supply and VSMx = 1.5 V.
2 Default setup for dual supply and VSMx = ground.
The default setups are noted in
Table 4.
Other intercepts are achieved by injecting different currents
into the IDEN pin, for example, if IDEN = 1 μA, as shown in
Figure 52, the VLOG transfer function is simply shifted by one
decade to the right. One way of doing this is to put a precision
500 kΩ resistor between the 2VLT and IDEN pins in the single-
supply default setup. The intercept is moved up to 31.62 fA, and
all output voltages for a given INUM are lowered by one decade,
that is, by 0.2 V at VLOG. For example, the new IDEN = 1 μA, and
VLOG = 1.3 V for INUM = 100 nA.
This is particularly useful if the slope is already as desired but
the desired intercept cannot be achieved with the on-chip
resistors. Only a shift toward the right makes sense because a
shift to the left requires excessively large resistors.

Slope Inversion
Table 4 lists only those slopes that are positive because this is the
expected normal operation in measurement mode. The slopes can
be inverted by two methods. By using INUM = IREF = 100 nA, in
which case, the intercepts, IZ, are at larger currents mirrored from
the values shown in
Table 4 around the 100 nA reference current.
For example, for the default setup with VY = 0.2 V/decade and
IZ = 3.162 fA, swapping INUM and IDEN connections result in
VY = 0.2 V/decade and IZ = 3.162 A.
The second method is to simply swap the connections between
the VNUM and VDEN pins and the inputs to the temperature
compensation cell (INNM and INDN), as shown in
Figure 53(compare to
Figure 52). This technique is particularly useful if
both negative log slope and adaptive photodiode biasing via
IMON are desired together.
