What is CORDIC used for?
CORDIC is a method of calculating a math function using much simpler math operations in a loop called a Binary Search. Most commonly CORDIC is used to calculate ATAN2 (Angle), and Hypotenuse (Distance) of a point. CORDIC can also be used to calculate other math functions like SIN and COS.
What is CORDIC in DSP?
CORDIC, an acronym for COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer, is a class of shift-add algorithms that rotate a vector in a plane.
What is a CORDIC processor?
The CORDIC arithmetic processor chip is designed and implemented to perform various functions possible in rotation and vectoring mode of circular, linear, and hyperbolic coordinate systems [
Is CORDIC still used?
In 1959, Volder [17], introduced the CORDIC algorithm in order to compute approximations of trigonometric functions. This method is still used because of its adequacy to hardware design.
