Tanh Approximation

Hardware approximation of tanh with pipelining for improved performance.

Tanh Approximation

Tanh Approximation

Overview

Designed a hardware circuit to approximate the hyperbolic tangent function, accurate to 7 decimal places.

Details

  • Used ready/valid handshakes for latency-insensitive data transfer
  • Pipelined with 18 register stages, raising frequency from 170 MHz → 320 MHz

Tools

SystemVerilog, AMD Vivado, FPGA Programming
