A Low Latency Floating Point CORDIC Algorithm for Sin/Cosine Function

The CORDIC algorithm computes trigonometric functions just by shifting and adding. It is widely used due to low hardware complexity. However, the excessive number of iterations is a bottleneck for the optimization of the CORDIC. Based on IEEE754 double-precision floating-point, this paper uses 4-step iteration in each cycle, which improving precision and shortening the calculation period. With the range between the input angle Z and the x, y axis is greater than 2
