Study Notes
Topic 3: Digital Arithmetic Operations
- This topic covers digital arithmetic operations, including integer arithmetic, negation, multiplication, division, floating-point representation, and arithmetic operations.
Topic 2 Outline
- Introduction
- Integer Arithmetic (Addition, Negation, Multiplication, Division)
- Floating-Point Representation
- Arithmetic Point Representation
Integer Arithmetic
- Addition and Subtraction: Basic arithmetic operations on integers
- Negation: Reversing the sign (using two's complement)
- Multiplication: Multiplying two integers
- Division: Dividing one integer by another Results that involve fractional components might need to be rounded
Integer Representation
- Unsigned integers: Without a sign, range 0 to 2N-1 (e.g., 0 to 255 for 8 bits).
- Signed integers: Use a sign bit (e.g., sign-and-magnitude, one's complement, two's complement).
- Sign-and-magnitude: A sign bit followed by the magnitude of the number (e.g., 111 means -7)
- One's complement: Complement each bit, negating it
- Two's complement: Compute the one's complement, then add 1. (e.g. 110 means -2)
Floating-Point Representation
- Represents real numbers.
- Has limitations: Very large numbers, or very small fractions can be difficult to represent.
- Uses a format with a sign, exponent, and significand (mantissa).
Floating-Point Arithmetic
- Operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) on floating-point numbers.
- Possible errors (Exponent overflow, underflow)
Multiplication (Unsigned Binary Integers)
- Multiplicand: The number being multiplied.
- Multiplier: The number that multiplies the multiplicand.
- Partial products: The products of the multiplicand by each bit of the multiplier.
- Product: The final result of the multiplication.
Multiplication (cont'd) (Hardware Implementation)
- Hardware to do multiplication, using registers, adder and control logic
- Example operations for multiplication: First, Second, Third cycles
Multiplication (cont'd) (Comparison)
- Comparing multiplication using unsigned integers, and using the two's complement method for integers showing the different results.
Multiplication (cont'd) (Booth's Algorithm)
- Algorithm for twos complement multiplication.
- Steps to follow
Division (Unsigned Binary Integers)
- Divisor: The number that divides.
- Dividend: The number being divided.
- Steps involved in the operation
- Quotient: The result of the division.
- Remainder: The remainder from the division.
Precision Considerations
- Rounding schemes: Various methods to round values to the nearest appropriate value when the results may not be whole numbers
- Guard bits: Extra bits used to improve precision
Interval Arithmetic
- Method to track possible error ranges in floating point calculations
- Using lower and upper bounds on values
- Includes rounding to +/- infinity
- Truncation (rounding to 0)
Exercises/Discussion
- Sign Magnitude, Two's complement, biased representation
- Determining whether a number is negative in various representations
- Drawbacks of sign-magnitude representation
- Forming the negation of an integer in two's complement
- When two's complement produces the same integer.
- Difference between two's complement of a number and two's complement of a representation of that number
