Abstract
An underflow/overflow detector includes first circuitry that decodes an exponent into an exponent shift value and compares the exponent shift value with a normalize shift value to determine whether an underflow or overflow error will occur. The underflow overflow detector further includes second circuitry that compares the exponent to a maximum and minimum exponent value to determine whether an underflow or overflow error will occur.
