Embodiment Construction

[0023] In accordance with the principles of the invention, a data processing arrangement uses variable range coefficients to perform post-conversion processing on N-bit digital input values ​​produced by an analog-to-digital converter. Use variable range factors to perform numeric conversions of numeric values ​​with arbitrary units to numeric values ​​with natural units, where the natural units and arbitrary units have a non-linear relationship. Variable range coefficients allow nonlinear relationships to be more closely approximated to improve the accuracy of the conversion. More specifically, the range of digital input values ​​is divided into unequal regions, where each region is associated with a corresponding set of conversion factors. The size of the region is chosen to achieve a close piecewise linear approximation of a non-linear transformation relationship, such as a logarithmic relationship.

[0024] In one embodiment, the coefficients are stored in a lookup table ...

Abstract

A device for processing a digital input value includes a first memory portion having stored thereon Q delimiter values where the Q delimiter values divide the range of the N-bit digital input value into Q+1 regions and at least a first region and a second region are of unequal sizes, a second memory portion has stored thereon a look-up table storing Q+1 sets of coefficients for performing numerical value conversion of the digital input value to a digital output value in a second, natural unit, and an arithmetic logic performing numerical value conversion using the N-bit digital input value and the selected coefficient pair. The N-bit digital input value is compared with the Q delimiter values to determine a respective one of the Q+1 regions in which the N-bit digital input value lies. The look-up table is indexed according to the respective region to provide the selected coefficient pair.
