Hi

I'm trying to implement a power function,x to the power of y , in hardware.

y is a real number, not an integer.

Both x and y are variables

i thought of implementing x power y using log function
ie y log(x), but it requires LUT's to store the log and antilog info.

CORDIC algorithms can also be used, but i'm interested in implementing only the power function with minimum utilisation of chip area.



Could you please help me in making the right choice..


thanks in advance
khaleel
