Abstract
A function generator producing an output signal varying in predetermined non-linear relationship to an input signal wherein the input signal addresses a programmable read-only memory (PROM) which is programmed to produce readout signals linearly proportional to selected values of the input signal and readout signals corresponding to the predetermined non-linear function of the input signal at said selected values and the output signal is derived by interpolation between the consecutive selected input signals which bracket the input signal.
