Yeah there isn't, it's not that simple, even at sensor level to have that much dynamic range A linear ADC with enough range is usually fine, you can do the mat

Yeah there isn't, it's not that simple, even at sensor level to have that much dynamic range A linear ADC with enough range is usually fine, you can do the math later. But maybe for this case it needs a non-linear element before the ADC? (no idea how log recording needs anything at the HW level)
