Hello all,
I'm in the process of designing a scientific calculator with at least 10^99 resolution. I did some research on scientific calculator (SC) and found that SC's use Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) floating point arithmetic to obatin high precision.
Here are my questions and I hope someone out there can help me:
What is the best way implement a SC?
Are there BCD math routines available for microcontroller (PIC, H8, 6811, 8051)?
Has anyone designed something similar to a SC using an FPGA?
What route should I take for this project? Please suggest.
Thanks for everyone's help
