Abstract

Floating point numbers are used in many applications due to their dynamic representation capabilities in digital signal processing. The main objective of the work is to design and implement a binary to IEEE 754 floating point converter for representing 64 bit double precision floating point values. The converter at the input side of the floating point unit module helps to improve the overall design and reduces the complexity of manually converting the binary numbers into IEEE 754 format numbers. Hence the method solves the problems in occurrence of human errors to an extent in direct feeding of IEEE 754 format numbers to the FPU module.The modules are written using Verilog and are then synthesized for Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGA using Xilinx Integrated Software Environment(ISE) design suite 14.2
