Abstract
A circuit is disclosed that is designed to carry out add compare select operations for determination of state metrics. The circuit is also designed to carry out a computation operation which goes beyond an add compare select operation for state metric determination, wherein the circuit is either configurable for this purpose and/or has an output for emitting at least one circuit-internal variable which goes beyond the output variable from the add compare select operation.
