A CMOS current-mode nth-switchable-root circuit composed of a compact logarithm circuit, a divide-by-n circuit, and a compact exponential circuit is proposed. The n can be selected from 5 values by three switches. Simulation results indicate that the compact nth-switchable-root circuit has a wide input-current range for relative errors less than 3%, low power dissipations below 630µW, and high bandwidth over 330MHz.
