In a recent survey conducted by AccelChip Inc. (recently acquired by Xilinx), 53% of the respondents identified floating- to fixed-point conversion as the most difficult aspect of implementing an ...

Migrating signal-processing algorithms from floating- to fixed-point is often necessary to meet various design constraints, including real-time performance, cost and power dissipation. The migration ...

Newton's method is actually a special case of what is generally known as a fixed point method. These methods rely on the Fixed point Theorem: ...

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 ...
