A new digit-serial divider architecture
A.E. Bashagha, M.K. Ibrahim · International Journal of Electronics · 1993
A new simple algorithm for performing digit-serial division is described. The non-restoring binary division algorithm has been modified to obtain an equivalent algorithm suitable for general radix. Also, a digit-serial pipelined divider architecture is presented to carry out division digit serially so that many samples can be processed simultaneously. Our architecture is different from existing digit-serial dividers in that it is based on a radix-2 n division algorithm. It is simple and general for any value of n or any number of digits. Furthermore, it can be made fully pipelined and can deal with positive as well as negative operands.
