FLOATING POINT ARITHMETIC UNIT

摘要

PURPOSE:To perform the division processing at a high speed by carrying out the comparison between the mantissa parts via a comparator to decide occurrence of the take-down independently of the division of the mantissa part and performing the process of an exponent part independently of the division of the mantissa part. CONSTITUTION:Both a dividend N and a divisor D are equal to the normalized floating point number data and are compared with each other by a comparator 102 to acquire the result Mn>Md. In such a case, the take-down is never produced in case the division is carried out at a mantissa part between both results Mn and Md. While the take-down is always produced in case of Mn
