This paper presents finite state machine based hardware to calculate arcsine function using CORDIC algorithm. CORDIC algorithms provide an effective methodology to compute a large range of transcendental functions, since it only requires addition, shift and subtraction operations. The design has been done using verilog HDL and it has been tested in SPARTAN-3 FPGA. Since different applications may require different accuracy, the focus has been on how an FPGA implementation of arcsine function can be easily reconfigured when higher precision is required.
