Abstract
An arithmetic circuit for calculating floating point operations. The circuit comprises first and second blocks of consecutive logic cells. Each logic block has a first cell and a last cell, with the first cell through the next to last cell having an output that is coupled to the next adjacent cell. The coupling of the last cells of the first and second logic blocks depends on the value of a control signal. A comparator may be used to generate the control signal.
