<p>A multiplier for BCD coded numbers allows high speed processing of a floating point number representing a measured parameter and a selected factor. Both the factor (F) and the measured parameter are stored in memories (1, MW) and the outputs are examined (2) to determine the initial positions of the decimal points. A programmed memory (3) generates outputs (S1, S2) for converter circuits (4, 5) to adjust the decimal point position such that modified values consisting of two integers and two decimal places are generated. BCD to binary converters (6, 7, 8) process the modified values that are then multiplied (11).</p> |
