fixed vs floating?
hi, can any one provide me sufficient information or good references to find the differences between fixed point arithmetic and floating point arithmetic. I would like to know the information regarding power also. Which of these is better for low power devices? I also need help in using Xilinx... -
how to design a fixed point multiplier??
hi, I have to design a processor in VHDL which does various multiplications and divisions to find a result which is a real number. As it is a hand held low power device I decided to use fixed point arithmetic for all the arithmetic operations involved in the design of the processor. I would... -
