An embodiment of a method and a related apparatus for digital computation of a floating point complex multiply-add is provided. The method includes receiving an input addend, a first product, and a second product. The input addend, the first product and the second product each respectively has a mantissa and an exponent. The method includes shifting the mantissas of the two with smaller exponents of the input addend, the first product, and the second product to align together with the mantissa of the one with largest exponent of the input addend, the first product and the second product, and adding the aligned input addend, the aligned first product and the aligned second product.
