Abstract
An integrated circuit and method for rounding a number in one of a first or second format to produce a rounded result wherein the number is represented by a set of bits. A first incrementer increments a first subset of the set of bits in response to being enabled and a second incrementer coupled to the first incrementer increments a second subset of the set of bits in response to being enabled. Mode selection logic coupled to the first and second incrementers selectively enables one of the first or second incrementers in response to a control signal indicating the format of the number to be rounded, the first incrementer being enabled if the number is in the first format and the second incrementer being enabled if the number is in the second format.
