Matrix arithmetic circuit for processing matrix transformation operations

摘要

A matrix arithmetic circuit for processing matrix transformation operations includes a random access memory (RAM) for storing a plurality of numbers in Modulo 256 with multiple tap points numbers format. A multiplier multiplies two of the Modulo 256 numbers in RAM to obtain a product. The product is normalized and added to a third Modulo 256 number stored in the RAM to obtain a result. The result is stored in the RAM and coupled to the data processing system for use in matrix transformation operations.
