 Block Floating-Point Format
• Approach to increase the range and precision of the
fixed-point format.
• Mantissas are stored and handled similar to fixed-
point numbers.
• Common exponent of the block is stored separately.
• Does not require any additional hardware resources,
• except an extra memory location to store the block
exponent.
