摘要:
A circuit to convert three input bits (A, B and C) to a redundant format may include a first block with at least one transmission gate, and a second block with at least one static mirror. The first block may receive the three bits and output a sum bit, and the second block may receive the three bits and output a carry bit.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for generating a lighting value based on a number of lighting factors. A lighting accelerator first converts an ambient portion, a diffuse light portion, and a specular light portion of the lighting factors into the log domain. Then, data combination units operate on the lighting factors after they have been converted. Then, the lighting factors are converted back from the log domain using anti-log processing. Converting the lighting factors into the log domain is accomplished by using a series of linear equations using coefficients that are all based on powers of two, and are therefore easily calculable. Further, while in the log domain, the specular light portion of the lighting factor is operated on by a special purpose multiplier that uses a truncated partial product tree, saving area and power with only a negligible amount of error.

A system to process multiplier X and multiplicand Y may include multiplication of a least-significant bit of X and a least-significant w bits of Y to generate a least-significant w bits of product Z. The system may further include determination of whether a least-significant bit of product Z is 1, addition of a least-significant w bits of modulus M to the least-significant w bits of product Z if the least-significant bit of product Z is 1, multiplication of the least-significant bit of X and bits 2w-1:w of Y to generate bits 2w-1:w of product Z, and addition of bits 2w-1:w of modulus M to bits 2w-1:w of product Z if the least-significant bit of product Z is 1. Multiplying the least-significant bit of X and bits 2w-1:w of Y may occur at least partially contemporaneously with multiplying the least-significant bit of X and the least-significant w bits of Y, determining if the least-significant bit of product Z is 1, and adding the least-significant w bits of modulus M to the least-significant w bits of product Z if the least-significant bit of product Z is 1.
