Summary :

In this paper, we propose a unified high-radix division algorithm for high-speed signal and data processing applications, and present the design and evaluation of high-radix parallel dividers based on the proposed algorithm. By prescaling the input operands and converting some significant digits of a partial remainder into non-redundant representation, the quotient digit can be obtained directly from the partial remainder without using quotient digit selection tables. Performance evaluation shows that the proposed radix-4 and radix-8 divider architectures achieve faster computation with the same level of hardware complexity than the binary counterparts. We also show an experimental fabrication of a radix-4 divider chip in 0.35 µm CMOS technology.
