I am looking for a "black box" circuit that has the product transfer function: Output voltage = 0.5 ( 1 + tanh ( Input voltage / "Gain" ) ) = 1 / ( 1 + exp ( -2 * Input voltage / "Gain" ) ) When plotted, this function looks like an elongated S When IV = - infinity, OV = 0 When IV = + infinity, OV = 1 When IV = 0 , OV = 0.5 By the way, this question arose in connection with a neural network problem. Thanks. Krishna Ambati krishna@aecom.uucp
