Electronic component, more particularly capable of performing a radix 4 division of two numbers

摘要

The electronic unit includes 2b - 1 subtractors (STi), connected to an input of the unit and control unit (DEC) for shifting binary words, connected between the output of the unit(DEC) and the output and input of the subtractors(STi). The unit also has a shift register (RG) which successively receives partial result words of b bits forming together a final result word representing the division in base 2b of two numbers. The unit is capable of carrying out a binary division of two numbers in base 2b, b being a whole number greater than 1, in particular equal to 2.
