Native Floating-Point HDL code generation allows you to generate VHDL or Verilog for floating-point implementation in hardware without the effort of fixed-point conversion. Native Floating-Point HDL ...

Hardware floating point can be attractive in many embedded applications where integer or fixed point algorithms produce either overflow/underflow or unacceptably long word lengths. In such cases ...

There is a natural preference to use floating-point implementations in custom embedded applications because they offer a much higher dynamic range and as a byproduct bypass the design hassle of ...

Floating point units (fpu) can increase the range and precision of mathematical calculations or enable greater throughput in less time, making it easier to meet real time requirements. Or, by enabling ...

For example, in a single-precision float, the maximum exponent is limited to +127 – using a bias value of +127 – so that 128 can be used to encode infinity and NaN codes. At the other end, -127 ...

The term floating point is derived from the fact that there is no fixed number of digits before and after the decimal point; namely, the decimal point can float. There are also representations in ...
