3.2.2.6. FP16 Vector Two Mode

This mode performs a summation of two half precision multiplication and fed to chainout. The chainin input from the previous variable DSP Block is then added or subtracted from input fp32_adder_a as the output result.

fp32_result = fp32_adder_a

fp32_chainout = (fp16_mult_top_a * fp16_mult_top_b) + (fp16_mult_bot_a * fp16_mult_bot_b)

fp32_result = fp32_adder_a

fp32_chainout = (fp16_mult_top_a * fp16_mult_top_b) - (fp16_mult_bot_a * fp16_mult_bot_b)

fp32_result = fp32_adder_a + fp32_chainin

fp32_chainout = (fp16_mult_top_a * fp16_mult_top_b) + (fp16_mult_bot_a * fp16_mult_bot_b)

fp32_result = fp32_adder_a - fp32_chainin

fp32_chainout = (fp16_mult_top_a * fp16_mult_top_b) - (fp16_mult_bot_a * fp16_mult_bot_b)
