Abstract

In real time Signal Processing applications, the analogue signal is over sampled as per the Nyquist criterion in order to avoid the aliasing effect. Floating Point (FP) adder is used in the floating point Multiplier Accumulator Content (MAC) for real time Digital Signal Processing(DSP) applications. The heart of any real time DSP processor is floating point MAC. Floating Point MAC is constructed by Finite Impulse Response (FIR) or Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters. FIR filters are stable than IIR filters because the impulse response is finite in FIR. Hence, for stable applications FIR filters are preferred. These FIR filters are intern constituted by FP adder, FP multiplier and shifter. In conventional floating point adder the two floating point numbers are added in series. Series means one after the other so the computation speed is less. In series fashion adding the floating point numbers means definitely it furnishes more delay[1] because in the addition of floating point numbers, along with the addition of mantissas; computation is required for both signs and exponents also. Hence, the processing speed is slow for computing the floating point numbers compared with fixed point numbers. Therefore, in order to increase the speed of operation for floating point addition in real time application i.e., to add 16- samples at a time which are in floating notation; a parallel and pipe line technique is going to be incorporated to the two bit floating point architecture. Before developing such novel architecture, a novel algorithm is developed and after, the novel architecture is developed. The total work is simulated by Modelsim 10.3c tool and synthesized by Xilinx 13.6 tool.
