  • Normalized Reciprocal HDL Optimized block

Libraries:
Fixed-Point Designer HDL Support / Math Operations

Description

The Normalized Reciprocal HDL Optimized block computes the normalized reciprocal of u, returned as y and t such that 0.5 < |y| ≤ 1 and 2ey = 1/u.

  • If u = 0 and u is a fixed-point or scaled-double data type, then y = 2 – eps(y) and e = 2nextpow2(w)w + f, where w is the word length of u and f is the fraction length of u.

  • If u = 0 and u is a floating-point data type, then y = Inf and t = 1.

Ports

Input

expand all

Value to take the normalized reciprocal of, specified as a real scalar.

Slope-bias representation is not supported for fixed-point data types.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Whether input is valid, specified as a Boolean scalar. This control signal indicates when the data from the u input port is valid. When this value is 1 (true), the block captures the value at the u input port. When this value is 0 (false), the block ignores the input samples.

Data Types: Boolean

Output

expand all

Normalized reciprocal that satisfies 0.5 < |y| ≤ 1 and 2ey = 1/u, returned as a scalar.

  • If the input at port u is a signed fixed-point or scaled-double data type with word length w, then y is a signed fixed-point or scaled-double data type with word length w and fraction length w – 2.

  • If the input at port u is an unsigned fixed-point or scaled-double data type with word length w, then y is an unsigned fixed-point or scaled-double data type with word length w and fraction length w – 1.

  • If the input at port u is a double, then y is a double.

  • If the input at port u is a single, the y is a single.

Data Types: single | double | fixed point

Exponent that satisfies 0.5 < |y| ≤ 1 and 2ey = 1/u, returned as an integer scalar.

Data Types: int32

Whether the output data is valid, returned as a Boolean scalar. When the value of this control signal is 1 (true), the block has successfully computed the outputs at ports y and e. When this value is 0 (false), the output data is not valid.

Data Types: Boolean

Algorithms

The Normalized Reciprocal HDL Optimized block works by normalizing the input using a binary search, which has a latency of approximately log2 of the word length of the input, followed by a CORDIC reciprocal kernel, which has a latency approximately the same as the word length of the input.

The Normalized Reciprocal HDL Optimized block is always ready to accept data. After the initial latency, valid samples are output every sample. The latency in samples for a fixed-point input u is

       D = ceil(log2(u.WordLength)) + u.WordLength + 5
