Abstract:
A digital processor, such as, e.g., a divider in a PID controller, performs a mathematical operation such as division (or multiplication) involving operands represented by strings of bit signals and an operator to produce an operation result. The processor is configured by identifying first and second power-of-two approximating values of the operator as the nearest lower and nearest higher power-of-two values to the operator. The operation is performed on the input operands by means of the first and second power-of-two approximating values of the operator by shifting the bit signals in the operands by using the first and second power-of-two approximating values in an alternated sequence to produce: first approximate results by using the first power-of-two approximating value, second approximate results by using the second power-of-two approximating value. The average of the first and second approximate results is representative of the accurate result of the operation.

Claim (Index 12):
A system, comprising:\n mathematical operation circuitry, which, in operation:\n generates first approximate results by shifting, by one or more barrel shifters, bits of an operand digital signal by a first number of bit positions, the first number of bit positions corresponding to a largest power-of-two value less than a mathematical operator; \n generates second approximate results by shifting, by the one or more barrel shifters, bits of the operand digital signal by a second number of bit positions, the second number of bit positions corresponding to a smallest power-of-two value greater than the mathematical operator, to generate second approximate results; and \n generates result signals based on the first and second approximate results; and \n one or more processing devices coupled to an output of the mathematical operation circuitry.
