摘要：
A low-power, area-efficient 128-bit multifunction arithmetic unit has been developed for programmable shaders for handheld 3-D graphics systems. It adopts the logarithmic number system (LNS) at the arithmetic core for the single cycle throughput and the small-size low-power unification of various complex arithmetic operations such as power, logarithm, trigonometric functions, vector multiplication, division, square root and inner product. An uneven 24-piecewise logarithmic conversion scheme is proposed with 0.8% of maximum conversion error. A 93K gate test chip is fabricated with 0.18-mu m CMOS technology. It operates at 210MHz with 15.3mW power consumption at 1.8V.
