The SSM2164 has log control input and claim good conformance for 100 dB, 
which cranks out as 5 orders of magnitude. If you look at the design you 
will see that CV hits the control voltage input while the current input 
is wired to -15V.

A first one is used as a multiplicative compensation, just as in Jims 
design...

Cheers,
Magnus
