UNIFIED MIXED-RADIX-2-4 REDUNDANT CORDIC PROCESSOR

We present a unified mixed radix CORDIC algorithm with carry-save arit hmetic with a constant scale factor. The pipelined architecture of the processor is determined by a unique sequence of microrotations for th e two modes of operation (rotation and vectoring) in circular and hype rbolic coordinates. The combination of radix-2 and radix-4, microrotat ions allows us to reduce the latency and size of the pipeline signific antly. The unified algorithm is based on the correcting microrotation method, which we have extended to the vectoring mode in hyperbolic coo rdinates. We have also generalized the use of radix-4, microrotations to the two operation modes and coordinate systems.
