A fused multiply add (FMA) unit includes an alignment counter configured to calculate an alignment shift count, an aligner configured to align an addend input based on the alignment shift count and output an aligned addend, a multiplier configured to multiply a first multiplicand input and a second multiplicand input and output a product, an adder configured to add the aligned addend and the product and output a sum without determining the sign of the sum or complementing the sum, a normalizer configured to receive the sum directly from the adder and normalize the sum irrespective of the sign of the sum and output a normalized sum, and a rounder configured to round and complement-adjust the normalized sum and output a final mantissa. |
