  • Patent number: 6760738
    Abstract: An exponent unit receives an operand and outputs an exponent of the operand that is equal to the number of consecutive bits of the operand that have the same value as the most significant bit (MSB) of the operand. The exponent unit can obtain an exponent value of an operand having a bit width that is greater than a processing bit width of a leading one detector (or a leading zero detector).

    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel n-bit binary counter with low power consumption, which comprises a set of half-adders for adding a “1” to an n-bit input signal, which includes a lower-order m bit component and a higher-order (n−m) bit component, and a set of D (data) flip-flops for storing outputs of the half-adders. The set of half-adders are divided into two sections, one of which is a first adder section for adding a “1” to the lower-order m bit component and the other of which is a second adder section for adding a carry signal from the first adder section to the higher-order (n−m) bit component. The set of D flip-flops are divided into two sections, one of which is a first register section to store outputs of the first adder section and the other of which is a second register section to store outputs of the second adder section. The n-bit input signal is comprised of the outputs of the first and second register sections.
