His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of number format conversion in signal processing applications.
Latest Patents
David A. Ohmann holds a patent for a "Number format conversion apparatus for signal processing." This invention features inputs for an exponent value and a mantissa value, which together represent a numerical value for a signal sample. The apparatus allows an operator to input an exponent max/min range and an offset, facilitating the desired conversion. The output exponent is derived from the input exponent based on the maximum and minimum exponent values and the exponent offset. A shift value is calculated and applied to a barrel shifter, which shifts the mantissa value to produce an output mantissa. This innovative design enables the conversion between floating point and fixed point number formats using a single circuit, implementable as a block on an ASIC.
