Swapping the diode and resistor of the log amplifier gives an anti-log amplifier: , so .
Circuit: The input voltage is applied to the inverting terminal (node A) through a semiconductor diode; the non-inverting terminal (node B) is grounded; a resistor is connected in the feedback path between the inverting terminal and the output. (This is the log amplifier with the diode and resistor interchanged.)
Derivation: For an ideal op-amp, and , so (virtual ground) and .
Applying KCL at node A:
The feedback current through is
The voltage across the diode is
From Shockley's diode equation,
Substituting (1) and (2) in (3):
…
