Resumen
The present invention relates to a method for applying to the recurrence cells of a divider circuit to divide a fixed-point dividend by a fixed-point divisor. In addition, said recurrence cells and a divider circuit are provided, which divide into a base r = 2k, generating k bits in each iteration. The divisor divides a dividend x of n bits by a divisor y of m bits greater than zero, returning a quotient q of n bits and a remainder r of m bits. The present invention makes the division faster, preferably using an efficient carry propagation for addition and subtraction. The divider circuit can be easily modified in order to return more fractional bits in the quotient q. Two architectures, named for the digit recursion cell, are described. The first is for a general hardware implementation and the second is optimized for programmable logic. A set of instructions for implementing said method in a programmable medium, and/or configuring said or other programmable means is also provided.
