ABSTRACT:
A binary signal hardware divider and method are described for a high performance computer graphics system. Each bit of an input binary signal to be divided by an integer number of a non-binary power is associated with a predetermined binary weight comprising the traditional binary weight for the bit divided by the integer number. The associated binary weights for each active bit are then summed to arrive at a resultant binary signal equal to the input binary signal divided by the integer number. A wire shifting technique for aligning selected ones of the binary weights without creation of any delay is also presented. Fast hardware divide within today's typical clock cycle is attained.
