Abstract
Circuitry for carrying out an arithmetic operation requiring a plurality of iterations, such as division or square root operations, utilizes N sets of iteration circuitry arranged one after the other so that at least one of the sets of iteration circuitry receives an output from a preceding one of the sets of iteration circuitry. Each of the sets of iteration circuitry includes at least one adder part, wherein a full adder is provided by at least one part in one of the sets of iteration circuitry and a second part in a succeeding one of the sets of iteration circuitry.
