Abstract:
The present embodiments relate to circuitry that efficiently performs floating-point arithmetic operations and fixed-point arithmetic operations. Such circuitry may be implemented in specialized processing blocks. If desired, the specialized processing blocks may include configurable interconnect circuitry to support a variety of different use modes. For example, the specialized processing block may efficiently perform a fixed-point or floating-point addition operation or a portion thereof, a fixed-point or floating-point multiplication operation or a portion thereof, a fixed-point or floating-point multiply-add operation or a portion thereof, just to name a few. In some embodiments, two or more specialized processing blocks may be arranged in a cascade chain and perform together more complex operations such as a recursive mode dot product of two vectors of floating-point numbers or a Radix-2 Butterfly circuit, just to name a few.

Claim (Index 5):
The processing circuitry of  claim 1 , wherein the fixed-point adder circuit selectively receives the output of the arithmetic operator circuit as selectively performing an additional operation on the output of the arithmetic operator circuit or forgoing the additional operation.
