  • Patent number: 4435655
    Abstract: A log-conformance correction circuit for a prototype circuit employing semiconductor devices comprises a quad of devices with voltage drops arranged in series, and currents or current densities driven such that the logarithmic components in the voltage drops sum to zero while log-conformance error components are produced. A correction quad suitably may comprise two pairs of semiconductor devices in which the current densities in one pair are cross-proportional with the current densities of the other pair, and of a different magnitude to establish a current density ratio between the pairs. The log-conformance error components which are generated by the correction quad are inserted into the prototype circuit to cancel log-conformance error therefrom.
