Two-bit floating point divide circuit with single carry-save adder

Apparatus and method for performing floating point divide operations in 2-bit, non-restoring iterations, wherein multiples of the divisor are formed by selective gating of one or more representations of the divisor into a single 3-input adder circuit, to calculate the partial quotients and subsequen...

Zusammenfassung:Apparatus and method for performing floating point divide operations in 2-bit, non-restoring iterations, wherein multiples of the divisor are formed by selective gating of one or more representations of the divisor into a single 3-input adder circuit, to calculate the partial quotients and subsequent partial dividends. The apparatus produces, without the need of separate holding registers, the zero, 1/2, 3/4, 1 and 3/2 multiples of the divisor.
