ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for performing division in accordance with certain bandwidth requirements particular to an implementation is described. A pseudo pipelined approach for performing division using the SRT non-restoring division algorithm is described which uses a minor clock and a major clock cycle time. The number of stages in the division pipeline is a function of the parameters bandwidth requirements of the system. The pseudo pipeline division technique iterates for several minor cycles rather than having individual hardware associated with each minor cycle in the division pipeline. High division bandwidth requirements are provided while minimizing the amount of hardware and the area occupied by the associated hardware.
