Design of reciprocal unit based on the Newton-Raphson approximation

Anders Torp, Rasmus Winther-Almstrup, Michael Boesen

AbstractA design of a reciprocal unit based on Newton-Raphson approximation is described and implemented. We present two different designs for single precisions where one of them is extremely fast but the trade-off is an increase in area. The solution behind the fast design is that the design is fully redundant.
