Design a Floating Point Unit 1 - Numbers

The first section of Design a Floating Point Unit covers an overview of floating point numbers as well as the IEEE 754 standard for single-precision 32-bit floating point binary numbers. The fundamentals of floating point numbers are covered in this course. Converting from decimal to 32-bit floating point binary and back. You'll examine both normal and subnormal (denormal) numbers, as well as nearest even rounding and rounding errors, precision, and all of the other details from the IEEE754 standard for 32-bit single-precision floating point binary numbers.

The instructors use a conversion tool that they created in Microsoft Excel VBA throughout the course to help them automate the conversion process as well as understand and check the conversion results. Teaching and learning about floating point numbers would be difficult and time-consuming without this type of tool. By ensuring that they have a solid understanding of floating point numbers, they will be able to design each of the floating point arithmetic operations required to create a full floating point unit in Logisim in later courses.
