Abstract
In floating-point multiplication, the sum of the exponents of the two operands is determined by the use of a single adder. The exponents are modified either before they are inputted to the adder or at the output of the adder. A carry signal of '1' is applied whenever addition is carried out. A signal indicative of occurrence of underflow or overflow is also obtained.
