ABSTRACT:
An arithmetic unit includes an arithmetic and logic circuit having n bits and capable of controlling the execution of either addition or subtraction by responding to a signal indicative of a positive or negative sign of a result of one preceding calculation, a register of n bits for temporarily storing data delivered out of the arithmetic and logic circuit, a register of n bits for delivering a divisor to the arithmetic and logic circuit, a shift register of n stages for sequentially storing signals indicative of a positive or negative sign of results of calculation by the arithmetic and logic circuit, and a shifter for shifting data of the register by one bit to the left and inserting data of the most significant bit of the shift register into the least significant bit to provide an output which in turn is delivered to the arithmetic and logic circuit. A conventional shifter having a bit length of 2n can be replaced with the shifter having a bit length of n and the shift register having a bit length of n.
