Abstract

Efficient implementation of arithmetic circuits in programmable logic devices by using Look-Up Tables (LUTs) to store pre-calculated values. A table look-up operation is performed in place of complex arithmetic operations. In this way, at the expense of a few LUTs, many logic elements can be saved. This approach is particularly applicable to circuits for calculating reciprocal values and circuits for performing normalized LMS algorithm.
