You've got to be kidding.  Let's take a good look at that expression:
log10(x)/log10(2) is what?  Right, base-2 logarithm of x.  Then you cast
it to unsigned, i.e. round it down.  In other words, you want to know the
highest bit in (over & 0x3f).  Which is to say, (fls(over & 0x3f) - 1).
Sigh...
Hi Al,

You are right, so easy. I will look at the data sheet and make sure the same approach can be applied to all places calling for log10 calculations. I wonder why the data sheet calls for log10 calculations. It threw me off... should have know better though.

Thanks,


Carlos Munoz
