Aim:
Provide knowledge of different ways to perform numerical computations in integrated circuits.After the course, the student is expected to be able to:
- Describe and use different number representations suitable for implementation in an integrated circuit
- Design and verify circuits that perform basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
- Describe and analyze different methods to speed up carry propagation
- Describe and analyze floating-point number representations and operations
- Describe and analyze methods for approximation of elementary functions

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic courses in switching theory and digital design with VHDL or Verilog
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Organisation:
The course is organized with combined lectures/exercises, computer exercises, laboratory work, and a small project assignment.
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.
|
|
Course contents:
- Number representations with binary values: fixed-point and floating-point
- Algorithms for and implementation of operations:
- Addition and subtraction of two numbers
- Carry propagation, when is it needed and how to speed it up
- Multi-operand addition
- Multiplication, with and without sign
- Division
- Square root
- Approximation of elementary functions
Alternative number representations such as decimal, residue, and logarithmic number systems
What is used in the latest commercial circuits?
