Digital signal processors (DSPs) crunch the numbers for applications that require fast analog-to-digital-to-analog conversion, such as software-defined radio and radar. If you weren't using a DSP, you ...

Trigonometric functions are often used in embedded systems. Motor drivecontrol applications such as the Park Transform, Clarke Transform, andPWMgeneration use trigonometric functions extensively.

The COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm is a versatile iterative method that computes a wide range of functions – including trigonometric, hyperbolic, logarithmic and exponential – ...

We are always excited when we see [Hamster] post an FPGA project, because it is usually something good. His latest post doesn’t disappoint and shows how he uses the CORDIC algorithm to generate very ...

The arithmetic unit is one of the important components of CPU design. For computation of complex arithmetic functions on hardware, the CORDIC algorithm is an attractive fixed-point algorithm that uses ...

This paper describes the architectural design of RISC based asynchronous microprocessor as an alternative to clocked design. It explores the design of a low power asynchronous CORDIC coprocessor ...
