As defined by the IEEE 754 standard, floating-point values are represented in three fields: a significand or mantissa, a sign bit for the significand and an exponent field. The exponent is a biased ...

Addition is the most complex operation in a floating-point unit and can cause major delay while requiring a significant area. Over the years, the VLSI community has developed many floating-point adder ...

For developers using FPGAs for the implementation of floating-point DSP functions, one key challenge is how to decompose the computation algorithm into sequences of parallel hardware processes while ...

Here we provide rational for using Centar’s floating-point IP core for the new Altera Arria 10 and Stratix 10 FPGA platforms. After a short contextual discussion section, a comparison of various FFT ...

In order to meet the requirements in real time DSP applications MAC unit is required. The speed of the MAC unit determines the overall performance of the system. MAC unit basically consists of ...
