Claim 26:
27. The MAC operator of claim 5, further comprising:
a plurality of floating-point to fixed-point converters, each of the plurality of floating-point to fixed-point converters being configured to receive multiplication result data of the floating-point format from the plurality of multipliers and convert a data type of the multiplication result data into a fixed-point format to output multiplication result data of the fixed-point format;
an adder tree configured to perform an addition operation on the multiplication result data of the fixed-point format output from the plurality of floating-point to fixed-point converters;
an accumulator configured to perform an accumulation operation on the data output from the adder tree to output multiplication-accumulation data of the fixed-point format;
a fixed-point to floating-point converter configured to convert the multiplication-accumulation data of the fixed-point format output from the accumulator into data of floating-point format to output multiplication-accumulation data of the floating-point format; and
a data type deconverter configured to restore the multiplication-accumulation data of the floating-point format output from the fixed-point to floating-point converter into data of the original 16-bit data type to output 16-bit MAC result data of the floating-point format.
