Abstract:
Methods and leading zero anticipators for estimating the number of leading zeros in a result of a fixed point arithmetic operation which is accurate to within one bit for any signed fixed point numbers. The leading zero anticipator includes an input encoding circuit which generates an encoded input string from the fixed point numbers; a window-based surrogate string generation circuit which generates a surrogate string whose leading one is an estimate of the leading one in the result of the arithmetic operation by examining consecutive windows of the encoded input string and setting corresponding bits of the surrogate string based on the examinations; and a counter circuit configured to estimate the number of leading zeros in the result of the arithmetic operation based on the leading one in the surrogate string.

Claim (Index 4):
The leading zero anticipator of  claim 2 , wherein the window-based surrogate string generation circuit is configured to generate an i th  bit of the surrogate string based on an i th  window of the encoded input string, the i th  window comprising the predetermined number of consecutive positions of the encoded input string starting with and including an i th  position of the encoded input string.
