A novel residue arithmetic algorithm using radix-2 signed-digit(SD) number representation is presented. By this representation, memoryless residue arithmetic circuits usingSD adders can be implemented. Conventional residue arithmetic circuits have been designed using binary number arithmetic system, but the carry propagation arises which limits the speed of arithmetic operations in residue modules. In this paper, a p-digit radix-2 SD number system is introduced to simplify the residue operation. For a modulus m, 2^p-1≥m≥2^p+2^<p-1>-1, in a residue number system(RNS), the modulo m addition is performed by using two p-digit SD adders, one for the addition and one for the residue operation. Thus, the modulo m addition time is independent of the word length of operands. When m=2^p or m=2^p±1, the modulo m addition is implemented by using only one SD adder. Moreover, a modulo m multiplier is constructed using a binary modulo m SD adder tree, and the modulo m multiplication can be performed in a time proportional to log_2p. The VHDL implementation method for the presented algorithm is also discussed. The design and simulation results of some residue arithmetic circuits show that high speed residue arithmetic circuits can be obtained by the presented algorithms.
