Abstract :
In this paper the application of CORDIC (COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer) processor using leading zeros detector (LZD) is discussed. In previous research, LZD was used in the normalization of the floating point number computation, also we find that it can be used in the CORDIC processor for reducing the number of iterations, deciding the sign of redundant number and speeding the computation of the exponent.
