The correct value for R13 signal levels. and R14 depends on the type of log transistors used. The 49.9 kΩ To trim the circuit, set the input currents to 10 μA and trim the resistors were chosen for use with LM394 transistors. Smaller A3 offset using the trim potentiometer of the amplifier for the resistance values are needed for smaller log transistors. output to equal 0. Next, set I1 to 1 μA and adjust the output to

The glass bulb resistance of a useful over a very wide range of signal currents. The total input typical pH electrode pair falls between 106 Ω and 109 Ω. It is current (which determines the low level accuracy of the circuit) therefore important to select an amplifier with low enough is the sum of the amplifier input current, the leakage across the input currents such that the voltage drop produced by the compensating capacitor (negligible if a polystyrene or Teflon amplifier input bias current and the electrode resistance does capacitor is used), and the collector-to-collector and collector- not become an appreciable percentage of a pH unit. to-base leakages of one side of the dual log transistors. The The circuit in Figure 46 illustrates the use of the AD549 as a pH magnitudes of these last two leakages depend on the amplifier probe amplifier. As with other electrometer applications, the use of input offset voltage and are typically less than 10 fA with 1 mV guarding, shielding, and Teflon standoffs is necessary to capitalize offsets. The low level accuracy is limited primarily by the on the AD549 low input current. If an AD549L (60 fA maximum amplifier input current, only 60 fA maximum when the input current) is used, the error contributed by the input current is AD549L is used. held below 60 μV for pH electrode source impedances up to 109 Ω.
