Abstract
Systems and methods include arithmetic circuitry that generates a floating-point mantissa and includes a propagation network that calculates the floating-point mantissa based on input bits. The systems and methods also include rounding circuitry that rounds the floating-point mantissa. The rounding circuitry includes a multiplexer at a rounding location for the floating-point mantissa that selectively inputs a first input bit of the input bits or a rounding bit. The rounding circuitry also includes an OR gate that ORs a second input bit of the input bits with the rounding bit. Moreover, the second input bit is a less significant bit than the first input bit.
