tation. It also permits FPGA prototyping be-
fore ASIC production.
Unlimited Designs license allows using IP
Core in unlimited number of FPGA bitstreams
and ASIC implementations.
In all cases number of IP Core instantiations
within a design, and number of manufactured
chips are unlimited. There is no time of use
limitations.

Arguments Checker - performs input data
analyze against IEEE-754 number standard
compliance. The appropriate numbers and
information about the input data classes are
given as the results to Main FP Pipelined
Unit.
Main FP Pipelined Unit - performs floating
point add function. Gives the complex infor-
mation about the results and makes final
flags settings.
Result Composer - performs result rounding
function, data alignment to IEEE-754 stan-
dard, and the final flags setting.
