Abstract
Abstract The computing module comprises a group of three circuits each intended to perform an elementary operation on the input signals and consisting of a summing circuit for receiving the signals E 1 and E 2 and delivering the sum signal S 1 = E 1 + E 2 , a subtracter for receiving the signals E 1 and E 2 and delivering the difference signal S 2 = E 1 - E 2 and a multiplier for receiving the signals E 1 and E 3 and delivering the product signal S 3 = E 1 E 3 , as well as a fourth circuit for performing a non-elementary operation on the input signals and delivering the signals S 4 .
