Abstract

In this paper, the authors illustrate the design of the exponential function based on the conventional and scale free hyperbolic Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm which are used in applications of the neural networks Very Large Scale Integrated circuit design. The CORDIC algorithm is introduced to design the function of the neural networks. The design of exponential function based on conventional and scale free hyperbolic CORDIC processor is coded in VHSIC (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit) hardware description language and their simulation and synthesis results are present in this paper. The Xilinx 13.1 software is used for the simulation and synthesis of code design.
