In this paper, we present the LFSR Test Vector Generator for Floating Point Arithmetic
Unit (FPAU); it improves the performance of multimedia processing with low hardware
cost. Here, we focused on a decimal floating point unit which consists of adder and
subtractor for high speed computing. It takes input as binary real numbers, converts them
into single precision IEEE 754 format floating point numbers, performs operations and
gives the output with high precision. We used Guard bit, Sticky bit and Round bit to get
output with good precision. At last, we tested the unit by the values from LFSR. The
FPAU was modeled and synthesized in Verilog HDL and LFSR was implemented 90nm
CMOS technology.
