PIC Microcontoller Math Method

Divide 16 bits by the constant value 15

From: Dmitry Kiryashov


;high=a.b , low=c.d
	movlw   0xF0
	andwf   low,F   ;c.0
	andwf   high,W  ;a.0

; at this point, the low nibble of `low' is zero
; W contains the high nibble of `high'

	xorwf   high,W  ;a.0^a.b
; now W contains low nibble of high, namely 0x0b
;    W  ^ high
;  0xa0 ^ 0xab => 0x0b

	xorwf   high,F  ;a.0
;Now the lower nibble of a is cleared.
;    W  ^ high
;  0x0b ^ 0xab => 0xa0  and this is stored back in high

	xorwf   high,W  ;a.b
;Now W contains the original value of high
;    W  ^ high
;  0x0b ^ 0xa0 => 0xab

	swapf   low,F   ;0.c
	swapf   high,F  ;0.a

	addwf   low,F   ;0.c + a.b
	skpnc
	incf    high,F  ;0.a + carry

Scott Dattalo says:

BTW, you should be aware that Nik's generator is more accurate than what Dmitry and I generated. The algorithm is based on this formula:
  1/(A+B) ~= B/A - (B/A)^2 + (B/A)^3 + ...

Dmitry and I computed the first two terms, Nik does all three in the generator.

The error is on the order of 1/16/16/16 = 2E-4

For example:

suppose you wanted to divide 65535 by 15. The exact answer is 4369. However, using Dmitry's code you'd get: 4350. Nik's produces: 4365 (I think).

But a slight mod will improve Dmitry's

        movf  high,w
        addwf low,f
        skpnc
         incf high,f

This modification will yield the result: 4366
