# IQMath Library

[![Component Registry](https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/iqmath/badge.svg)](https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/iqmath)

The IQmath Library is a collection of highly optimized and high-precision mathematical functions for C programmers to seamlessly port a floating-point algorithm into fixed-point code on ESP chips. These routines are typically used in computationally intensive real-time applications where optimal execution speed, high accuracy and ultra-low energy are critical. By using the IQmath library, it is possible to achieve execution speeds considerably faster and energy consumption considerably lower than equivalent code written using floating-point math.

The IQmath library provides functions for use with 32-bit data types and high accuracy.

## IQmath Data Types

The IQmath library uses a 32-bit fixed-point signed number (i.e. `int32_t`) as its basic data type. The IQ format of this fixed-point number can range from `IQ1` to `IQ30`, where the IQ format number indicates the number of fractional bits. The IQ format value is stored as an integer with an implied scale based on the IQ format and the number of fractional bits. The equation below shows how a IQ format decimal number $x_{iq}$ is stored using an integer value $x_i$ with an implied scale, where $n$ represents the number of fractional bits.

$$
IQ_n(x_{iq}) = x_i * 2^{-n}
$$

For example the IQ24 value of 3.625 is stored as an integer value of 60817408, shown in the equation below.

$$
IQ_{24}(3.625) = 60817408 * 2^{-24}
$$

C typedefs are provided for the various IQ formats, and these IQmath data types should be used in preference to the underlying “int32_t” data type to make it clear which variables are in IQ format.

The following table provides the characteristics of the various IQ formats:

| Type  | Integer Bits | Fractional Bits | Min Range      | Max Range                 | Resolution    |

## How to Use Example

### Hardware Required

* A development board with Espressif SoC
* A USB cable for Power supply and programming

### Configure the Example

Before project configuration and build, be sure to set the correct chip target using `idf.py set-target <chip_name>`.

### Build and Flash

Run `idf.py -p PORT build flash monitor` to build, flash and monitor the project.

(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)

See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

## Example Output
