Does any one have pointers to info. on floating point arithmetic units (multipliers and dividers in particular) implemented in CMOS or NMOS. I am particularly looking for information on single chip implementations and their performance (area, speed etc...). - Ranga. -- Dr. Ranga Vemuri ranga@uceng.uc.edu Laboratory for Digital Design Environments (513)-556-4784 M.L. 30, Dept.

If your library has a year's worth of "EDN" and "Electronic Design" (etc), then you should be able to get all the phone numbers with a few minutes work. The hottest vaporware I know of is the new "130" series from BIT. Soon, you can get a sample with a 100 MHz double precision pipeline. They're also claiming that flowthrough only has one stage of latency: wow. Of course, the package is 5 square inches ... $1400 ... and thirty watts. Hot, indeed. -- Don D.C.Lindsay Carnegie Mellon Computer Science
