How to convert floating point code to fixed point?

To convert from floating-point to fixed-point, we follow this algorithm:

1. Calculate x = floating_input * 2^(fractional_bits)
2. Round x to the nearest whole number (e.g. round(x) )
3. Store the rounded x in an integer container.

How do you change a floating-point to a fixed-point in MATLAB?

You can convert floating-point MATLAB^® code to fixed-point code using the Fixed-Point Converter app or at the command line using the fiaccel function -float2fixed option. You can choose to propose data types based on simulation range data, derived (also known as static) range data, or both.

What is fixed-point conversion?

In computing, fixed-point is a method of representing fractional (non-integer) numbers by storing a fixed number of digits of their fractional part. Dollar amounts, for example, are often stored with exactly two fractional digits, representing the cents (1/100 of dollar).
