Figure 7.2. Comparisons and minimum, maximum computation.
7.5 Alternative circuitry for interval operations and
comparisons
In Figure 7.1 the operand selection and the execution of the interval operations in the
upper part of the circuitry form the operand-selection and operations unit. Here the
time needed for the operand selection is negligible in comparison to the time needed
to perform the arithmetic operations.
It may, however, be useful to separate the operand selection from the operations
themselves. Separation into two units would make it easier to use these for other pur-
poses. Examples ...
