Version
2023.2 English

The Inverse function computes the reciprocal of a number x. The values of 1/x are stored in a look up table of 2048 size. The index for picking the 1/x value is computed using the fixed point format of x. Once this index is computed, the corresponding 1/x value is fetched from the look up table and returned along with the number of fractional bits needed to represent this value in fixed point format.

API Syntax

unsigned int Inverse(unsigned short x,int M,char *N)

Parameter Descriptions

The following table describes the template and the function parameters.

Table 746 Table . Inverse Parameter Description
Parameter Description
x 16-bit unsigned value x in fixed point format of QM.(16-M)
M Number of bits to represent integer part of x.
N Pointer to a char variable which stores the number of bits to represent fractional part of 1/x. This value is returned from the function.
Return 1/x value is returned in 32-bit format represented by a fixed point format of Q(32-N).N
