DFPMU-DP - Floating Point Coprocessor - Double Precision

DFPMU-DP - Floating Point Coprocessor - Double Precision Description:

Overview

DFPMU-DP is a Floating Point Coprocessor, designed to assist CPU in performing the floating point mathematic computations. DFPMU-DP directly replaces C software functions, by equivalent, very fast hardware operations, which significantly accelerate system performance. It doesn’t require any programming, so it also doesn’t require any modifications made in the main software. Everything is done automatically during software compilation by the DFPMU-DP C driver.
The DFPMU-DP was designed to operate with DCD's DP8051/DP80390 microcontrollers, but can also operate with any other 8-, 16- and 32-bit processor. Drivers for all popular 8051 C compilers are delivered together with the DFPMU-DP package. The DFPMU-DP supports also a popular 32 Bit procesors: NIOS II and MicroBlaze, and the C drivers for those processors are delivered with the DFPMU-DP for free.
DFPMU-DP uses the specialized CORDIC and standard algorithms to compute math functions. It supports addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square root, comparison, and trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, tangent and arctangent. It has built-in conversion instructions from integer type to floating point type and vice versa. The input numbers format is according to IEEE-754 standard. DFPMU-DP supports double and single precision real numbers, 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit integers. DFPMU-DP is prepared to use with 8-, 16- and 32-bit processors.
DFPMU-DP is a technology independent design that can be implemented in a variety of process technologies.
