A Low-Cost Floating Point Vectoring Algorithm Based on CORDIC∗

چکیده
In this paper we develop a CORDIC-based floating-point vectoring algorithm which reduces significantly the amount of microrotation steps as compared to the conventional algorithm. The overhead required to accomplish this is minimized by the introduction of an angle selection function which considers only a few of the total amount of bits used to represent the vector being rotated. At the same time, the cost of individual microrotations is kept low by the utilization of a fast rotations angle base. key words: CORDIC, vectoring algorithm, oating-point oper-

Very-High Radix Circular CORDIC: Vectoring and Unified Rotation/Vectoring
ÐA very-high radix algorithm and implementation for circular CORDIC is presented. We first present in depth the algorithm for the vectoring mode in which the selection of the digits is performed by rounding of the control variable. To assure convergence with this kind of selection, the operands are prescaled. However, in the CORDIC algorithm, the coordinate x varies during the execution so seve...

متن کاملFloating point Cordic
In this paper, we present a full precision floating-point Cordic algorithm and a correponding word-serial Cordic architecture. The extension to existing block floating-point Cordic algorithms is in a floating-point representation for the angle. The angle is represented as a combination of exponent, micro-rotation bits and two bits to indicate prerotations over 2 and radians.
