High-Throughput Low-Latency Pipelined Divider for Single-Precision Floating-Point Numbers

In this brief, we propose a fully pipelined divider for single-precision floating-point numbers based on a universal piecewise linear (PWL) approximation method and a modified Goldschmidt algorithm. The state-of-the-art universal PWL method uses a suitable number of segments and fractional bit widths to meet the requirement of the predefined maximum absolute error. Small multipliers are employed i...
