Effects of Data's Bit-Width on Digital Logic Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

Single precision can only achieve 6-7 decimal places, which does not satisfy accuracy demand in many calculations. Double precision can get 13-14 decimal places, but the resource cost is high. In this paper, effects of data bit-width on digital logic design are studied. The accuracy of different bit-width is determined. Then, addition operation, multiplication operation and matrix multiplication with different bit-width are tested on FPGA platform. The results show bit width and circuit design platform have obvious effect on resource cost and circuit efficiency. Finally, a bit-width based circuit design optimization method is proposed.
