Look-up table with input offsetting
A computation unit computes a function f(I). The function f(I) has a target output range over a first domain of an input I encoded using a first format. A first circuit receives the encoded input I in the first format including X bits, to add an offset C to the encoded input I to generate an offset input SI=I+C, in a second format including fewer than X bits. The offset C is equal to a difference between the first domain in f(I) and a higher precision domain of the second format for the offset input SI. A second circuit is operatively coupled to receive the offset input SI in the second format, to output a value equal to a function f(SI) to provide an encoded output value f(I).
