A Lower Error and ROM-Free Logarithmic Converter for Digital Signal Processing Applications

Abstract: In this brief, we propose a lower error and ROM-free logarithmic converter. The proposed converter can lead to areaefficient hardware implementation as it avoids the need for a ROM by employing simple computation units for logarithmic approximation. Our proposed logarithmic conversion algorithm partitions the exact logarithmic curve into two symmetric regions such that the slopes in the two regions that are used for logarithmic approximation are inversed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm ach… Show more

“…Correction strategies used for 2, 6, and 7 regions with changing hardware complexity and accuracy [12]. In 2004, a 2-region error manipulation schemes were proposed by Juang et al [15,16] and advancement of this work is introduced for logarithmic and antilogarithmic converter. Juang et al [16] have proposed 2-region correction by using bit level manipulation schemes to achieve trade-off.…”

“…It can reduce the approximation errors, but suffers from hardware overhead due to many regions of approximation [28]. A similar approach of 2-region bit-level manipulation has been used to achieve accuracy for an antilogarithmic converter [21,22]. Kuo et al have proposed 4region shift-and-add approximations based antilogarithmic converter in 2012.…”

“…The pictorial representation of logarithm multiplication is shown in Figure 1. Many methods regarding binary to logarithmic conversion and vice versa have been discussed in the last few years [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Error creates at the time of logarithmic and antilogarithmic conversion [10].…”

“…These require circuits for complex arithmetic computations such as multiplication, division, square root, squaring, and powering, which entail additional hardware costs and longer latency. To reduce the hardware costs and transmission delays, recent studies have developed novel methods to replace the complex arithmetic computations, such as the CORDIC algorithm [1], the table-based algorithm using rectangular multipliers [2], and the logarithmic number system (LNS) [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] to handle arithmetic computations. The CORDIC algorithm [1] uses an iterative method, and is not suitable for three-dimensional real-time DSP because of the limitation of operation speed.…”
