Hi Folks,
Has anyone ever examined using 2 channels of an OPA4991 to create a quasi-log amplifier for TIA applications?
Sort of like this:

Curious if anyone has previously explored this?
Thanks,

Hello Chris,
This technique has been done many times. Obviously the 2nd amplifier can be overdriven. The only mention in the data sheet I saw for overload was a 400ns typical delay.
