CORDIC Algorithm Design on Ansys SCADE

Many embedded systems have extreme constraints of power consumption, think of satellites, IoT Devices, implantable medical devices, etc. There exist appropriate microcontrollers designed to reduce their power consumption to the maximum. This implies eliminating energy expensive components like the floating-point unit. In this case, how to calculate trigonometric, square root, and other such functions? Jack E. Volder invented the CORDIC algorithm, that uses low-cost operations like additions and shifts to calculate more complex mathematical functions. This course will introduce you to CORDIC and will describe its implementation using Ansys SCADE® embedded software product collection.
