Abstract - The use of the Residue Number System (RNS) in modern telecommunication and multimedia applications is becoming more and more important because it allows interesting advantages in terms of precision, power consumption and speed. Generally, the output conversion from residue to binary is the crucial point in effective realizations of application specific architectures based on residual arithmetic. This paper presents a general conversion procedure based on a N moduli set. The algorithm can process both unsigned and signed numbers. Based on this algorithm an architecture which efficiently implements the output conversion is illustrated. The architecture has been mapped on a FPGA.
