= + Datapath – Floating Point Overview - * = + - = * = DesignWare Foundation Building Blocks Introduction The Floating Point components comprise a library of functions used to synthesize floating point computational circuits in high end ASICs. The functions mainly deal with arithmetic operations in floating point format, format conversions and comparison functions. The main features of this library are as follows: ❖ The format of the floating point numbers that determines the precision of the number that it represents is parameterizable. The user can select the precision based on the number of bits in the exponent and significand (or mantissa). The parameters cover all the IEEE formats. ❖ Accuracy conforms to the definitions in the IEEE 754 Floating Point standard for the basic arithmetic operations. Improved accuracy is obtained with multi-operand FP components.
