Imho this can't work. But even if does, it's just wrong. Diode is biased only by opamp's parasitic input current, that's not how to build circuits.

What do you think about the anti-log schematics in the TI links posted above?  Are you suggesting that the diode should be replaced with a BJT?

I built the exponential amp w. a single diode. Here is my schematic

Your schematics is wrong. It is not what you've built and measured.

Cheers

That's my bad Eagle skills...fixing + to ground

(replaced incorrect Eagle schematic with handdrawn schematic showing the inverting amp)

Ah, now I see the updated schematics :). I'd say, if diode works for you, then don't make your life harder with more complicated circuits. Just know limitations of your solution (mainly thermal drift).
