Abstract: A method of dividing, in a micro computer unit (MCU), a first binary number (N), having a first number of significant bits, by a second binary number (D), having a second number of significant bits, produces an integer result (Y). The method includes: determining the difference (K) between the first and second numbers of significant bits; aligning the most significant bits (MSBs) of N and D by shifting the bits of D, by K bit positions, such that its MSB occupies the same relative bit position as the MSB of N; repeating K times: multiplying Y by 2; dividing D by 2; and, if N is greater than or equal to D: increasing Y by 1; setting N equal to N?D.

Abstract: A TFCI decoder (600) in accordance with the present invention comprises a comparator (605), which is coupled to receive encoded TFCI codewords (110) at a first input (610). At a second input (645), the comparator (605) is coupled to a TFCI candidate codeword generator (625) that generates all the possible candidate TFCI codewords (647) from all possible corresponding unencoded TFCI source data. When an encoded TFCI codeword (110) is received at the first input (610), the comparator (605) compares the TFCI codeword (110) with each of the possible candidate TFCI codewords (647) provided to the second input (645), and the corresponding TFCI source data (650) is identified. Subsequently, the identified TFCI source data (650) is latched in a TFCI source data memory (640) by a latch signal (620) provided from an output (630) of the comparator (605).
