Fixed-point Signal Processors (Synthesis Lectures on Signal by Wayne T. Padgett, David V. Anderson

By Wayne T. Padgett, David V. Anderson

This publication is meant to fill the distance among the "ideal precision" electronic sign processing (DSP) that's broadly taught, and the constrained precision implementation abilities which are generally required in fixed-point processors and box programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). those talents are frequently ignored on the collage point, really for undergraduates. we now have tried to create a source either for a DSP optionally available direction and for the working towards engineer with a necessity to appreciate fixed-point implementation. even if we suppose a history in DSP, bankruptcy 2 encompasses a overview of simple conception and bankruptcy three reports random procedures to help the noise version of quantization mistakes. bankruptcy four info the binary mathematics that underlies fixed-point processors after which introduces fractional structure for binary numbers. bankruptcy five covers the noise version for quantization errors and the consequences of coefficient quantization in filters. as a result of the numerical sensitivity of IIR filters, they're used widely for example approach in either Chapters five and six. thankfully, the foundations of facing constrained precision could be utilized to a wide selection of numerically delicate platforms, not only IIR filters. bankruptcy 6 discusses the issues of product roundoff mistakes and numerous tools of scaling to prevent overflow. bankruptcy 7 discusses restrict cycle results and some universal tools for minimizing them. there are many uncomplicated workouts built-in into the textual content to permit you to check your knowing. solutions to the workouts are integrated within the footnotes.

Though this approach is common, it is not without difficulties, as additions can still cause overflows and sometimes filter coefficients require representations of values larger than one. 15, its value only determines the sign of the represented number, so it is essentially only a sign bit. It is somewhat of a reversal of intuition to think in terms of keeping the signal near a magnitude of 1 (but not over) to preserve precision in the fraction bits when you compare this to the traditional integer approach taken in a typical C program, where lower bits are never lost, but care must be taken to avoid producing values too large for the datatype, and effectively, the most significant bits are always discarded.

It is exactly this behavior in C that makes it difficult to express a multiply operation that starts with two low precision operands and produces a double precision result. The definition of C [14] requires the operands to be cast to the type of the result before the multiply occurs, which is quite inefficient in hardware. 31 format would be sufficient. 31 requires only a left shift of one bit, and the operation may be required often, some DSP μP’s provide a mode or instruction allowing the left shift by one bit of every product.

Since many signal processing tasks are computed on blocks of data to minimize loop overhead, significant improvements in computational accuracy can be obtained by determining the maximum value in a block of data, and then scaling all the values up (usually by a left shift) to the maximum range without overflow. The shift represents a power of 2, and also a scaling exponent, just as in floating–point, but there is only a single exponent for the entire block. Therefore, the values in the block can still be used in computations as fixed–point values and many more bits of precision are available for small values when they are scaled up to occupy the most significant bits of the data word.
