Additional information

This paper describes a new two-stage logarithmic converter, which is an improvement of the original work presented in a patent by Larson (US Patent 5,365,465; Texas Instruments) and compares it with recent work based on non-uniform polynomial techniques. The results showed that the Kent algorithm performs better than Larson’s version and should be used as a benchmark in future comparisons of implementation efficiency. The converter has many applications in industrial and consumer signal processing. This output was part of the material presented during an invited presentation given by Lee at the UK Design Forum (UKDF) in Manchester in 2012.
