High throughput divider using output prediction logic

Abstract

 Intensive arithmetic computations in three-dimensional graphic applications and scientific computations demand high throughput division. A 16b high throughput radix-4 divider implemented in Output Prediction Logic (OPL) is presented. One dividing unit was fabricated using the TSMC 0.18um/1.8V CMOS technology. Measurement results show that this divider can achieve a throughput of 1.2 GHz, which is significantly faster than the previously published dividers.
