Abstract
A radix converter comprises a plurality of automata each of combined Moore and Mealy design. The automata are connected in cascade with the digits of the input number applied serially to one of the automata. The Moore output of each automaton stage is utilized to provide the final state of the stage and is representative of a respective coefficient of the number in the transformed radix. The Mealy output of each stage is an untransformed residue transferred to the next identically designed automaton circuit. For numbers of integral value each automaton operates in accordance with the equation: ##EQU1## For numbers of fractional value each automaton is instrumented in accordance with the equation: ##EQU2## Where in the above equations: S = Present state of the stage S* = Next state of the stage
