Bit-serial CORDIC circuits for use in a VLSI silicon compiler

The CORDIC algorithm is discussed, and modifications which have been found to make the basic algorithms more flexible are presented. Logic diagrams of circuits which implement the fixed-point computations of these modified CORDIC algorithms in a bit-serial fashion are introduced. This choice allows the hardware to be compact and regular, thus permitting the placement of many CORDIC processing elements on a single die.<
