// Convergent Rounding: LSB Correction Technique
// ---------------------------------------------
// For static convergent rounding, the pattern detector can be used
// to detect the midpoint case. For example, in an 8-bit round, if
// the decimal place is set at 4, the C input should be set to
// 0000.0111. Round to even rounding should use CARRYIN = "1" and
// check for PATTERN "XXXX.0000" and replace the units place with 0
// if the pattern is matched. See UG193 for more details.
