Embedded C and C++ programmers are familiar with signed and unsigned integers and floating-point values of various sizes, but a number of numerical formats can be used in embedded applications. Here ...
Engineers targeting DSP to FPGAs have traditionally used fixed-point arithmetic, mainly because of the high cost associated with implementing floating-point arithmetic. That cost comes in the form of ...
Digital signal controllers (DSCs) offer the most advanced form of single-chip control processing available for high-end embedded systems. DSCs with floating-point architecture take fewer processing ...
