ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of a logarithmic circuit may include a logging transistor, and a multi-tanh circuit arranged to provide temperature compensation to the logging transistor, where the multi-tanh circuit comprises a multiplicity of multi-tanh cells. In another embodiment, a logarithmic circuit may include a logging transistor, and a multi-tanh circuit arranged to provide temperature compensation to the logging transistor, where the multi-tanh circuit includes a first set of outputs arranged to provide an output signal and a second set of one or more outputs that are diverted.
