May 10, 2006 - Digital Core Design, the Intellectual Property (IP) provider, today announces the release of a DFPMU-DP – Double Precision Floating Point Coprocessor. The DFPMU-DP is a 64-bit Double ...

We recently announced a new floating-point core that allows our designers to do fixed- and floating-point instructions on the same DSP opening up many new applications that need this type of precision ...

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 ...

Embedded C and C++ programmers are familiar with signed and unsigned integers and floating-point values of various sizes, but a number of numerical formats can be used in embedded applications. Here ...

An unfortunate reality of trying to represent continuous real numbers in a fixed space (e.g. with a limited number of bits) is that this comes with an inevitable loss of both precision and accuracy.

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 ...
