FPGA Implementation of Pipelined Restoring Division Algorithm.

1) Lijo P Jose of the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology Department of Avionics submitted a project report on implementing a pipelined divider using a restoring algorithm in VHDL. 2) The report details the restoring division algorithm, which is implemented by loading a divisor into register M and dividend into register Q and performing subtractions over n iterations to calculate the quotient in Q and remainder in A. 3) The implementation in VHDL first created a basic 1-bit divider component and then a top-level divider module containing an array of 1-bit dividers to calculate each bit result. The implementation was tested through simulation and timing analysis tools.

Algorithm for Restoring Division:

An n-bit positive divisor is loaded into register M and an n-bit positive dividend is
loaded into register Q at the start of the operation. Register A is set to 0. After the
division is complete, the n-bit quotient is in register Q and the remainder is in register
A. The required subtractions are facilitated by using 2's-complement arithmetic. The
extra bit position at the left end of both A and M accommodates the sign bit during
subtractions. The following algorithm performs restoring division.
The following is done n times:
Shift A and Q left one binary position.
2. Subtract M from A, and place the answer back in A.
3. If the sign of A is 1, set q0 to 0 and add M back to A (that is, restore A); otherwise,
set q0 to 1.

Implementation Procedure:
Initial idea of implementation of the divider was to construct a basic module of 1 bit
restoring division and further that it could be extended to a pipelined version.
The VHDL implementation of the pipelined version started off with the creation of the
basic component i.e; 1 bit divider. This was implemented by following the C code
method:

S0 Z
for j 1 to k
if 2 S(j-1) 2 k d 0
q (k - j) 1
S j 2 S(j-1) 2 k d
else q (k - j) 0
S j 2 S(j-1)

After this sequence is totally executed a top level module called divider has been
created .The work of this module is just to create an array of dividers which in turn will
calculate each bit of the impending result.
The divider code has been made in such a way that a generic change in the size of
inputs can be easily made.
The latency in the first output was optimized by trial and error method of adding delay
to bit transfer from one basic divider component to another.
To give sustained inputs as numerator and denominator a ROM was utilized (using
IPcore) and a memory initiation file was later added to it.
The output bits are later converted using appropriate conversion function defined in the
code which can then be fed to LCD.
