Hi
I am studying floating point adder unit In that I came across a algorithm In which there are six stages
In The first stage the significant has been padded with zeros like this
B <= "00" & SIG(23 downto 0) & "000";
A <= "00" & SIG(23 downto 0) & "000";
and this is sent to next stage where alignment is done
So what is the purpose of padding zeros ?? is it required to pad zeros for alignment purpose??
