Summary :

This paper deals with the theory and design method of an efficient radix-4 divider using carry-propagation-free adders based on redundant binary {-1,0,+1} representation. The usual method of normalizing the divisor in the range [1/2,1) eliminates the advantages of using a higher radix than two, bacause many digits of the partial remainder are required to select the quotient digits. In the radix-4 case, it is shown that it is possible to select the quotient digits to refer to only the four (in the usual normalizing method it is seven) most significant digits of the partial remainder, by scaling the divisor in the range [12/8,13/8). This leads to radix-4 dividers more effective than radix-2 ones. We use the hyperstring graph representation proposed in Ref.(18) for redundant binary adders.
