Hello List,

I agree that Roman is the inventor as for the SSM2164 based schematic.

Actually, the same principle was invented by Barrie Gilbert in 1983.

  Temperature compensated logarithmic circuit US 4604532 A

I think we should proud our re-invention of the same idea by Barrie.

Best,

Not quite following you here.  The dates are ten years apart.  Clearly 
Romans invention!
