Abstract
An arrangement () and method for bit exactness support in dual-MAC architecture by detecting when underflow or overflow conditions will occur, and for operating the dual-MAC arrangement in single-MAC mode for at least one cycle upon such detection. This produces the advantages of providing dual-MAC execution with saturation capabilities, with only a small degradation in performance, while employing detection logic that is very small and simple compared to the logic required for a conventional full saturation dual-MAC architecture.
