Fixed Point

An essential step in embedded software development, floating- to fixed-point conversion can be tedious, labor-intensive, and error-prone. System engineers frequently design algorithms in floating-point math, usually double-precision. This format represents the ideal algorithm behavior but takes...

This Python module provides basic facilities for mathematics on fixed-point numbers. The number of fractional binary digits is tunable, allowing near-arbitrary precision arithmetic. Arithmetic & functions such as sqrt, exp, log, sin & cos are available.

Functions accompanying MATLAB News & Notes article "Fixed-point Signal Processing: Getting Started" by Darel A. Linebarger and Thomas A. Bryan, 2004. The functions include an FIR filter in M that can be run in fixed-point and floating-point.

There are challenges to face when programming in fixed-point code manually. Similarly, care is required in automatically generating fixed-point code. The developer must pay attention to design tradeoffs, namely: accuracy, efficiency, ROM, RAM, execution time, and readability.The MathWorks tools...
