ON-CHIP ARITHMETIC ACCELERATOR
An on-chip math accelerator allows the microcontroller to perform 32-bit and 16-bit multiplication, division, shifting,
and normalization using dedicated hardware. Math operations are performed by sequentially loading three special
registers. The mathematical operation is determined by the sequence in which three dedicated SFRs (MA, MB, and
MC) are accessed, eliminating the need for a special step to choose the operation. The normalize function
facilitates the conversion of 4-byte unsigned binary integers into floating point format.
supported by the math accelerator and their time of execution.

Table 3
MA and MB registers must be loaded and read in the order shown for proper operation, although accesses to any
other registers can be performed between access to the MA or MB registers. An access to the MA, MB, or MC
registers out of sequence corrupts the operation, requiring the software to clear the MST bit to restart the math
accelerator state machine. Consult the description of the MCNT0 SFR for details of how the shift and normalize
functions operate.
Software must ensure that the input value for the normalize operation is not zero or the function will not complete.
Compilers such as the one from Keil Software have updated their libraries and compensate for this condition.
