	Floating point accumulator circuit - Patent 4825400
		The exponent comparison and twos' complementing section is used to determine which mantissa--that of the input floating point number, or that of the accumulated number--will have to be shifted in order to align the binary points so that addition in the accumulation section may proceed.
		A register at the end of this section stores the twos' complement mantissa, a shift code, some control signals to indicate which of the mantissas is the smaller (and therefore to be shifted), and the largest exponent (which is also fed back to this section for the next exponent comparison).
		Which of the two signs is selected is determined by the Bypass signal, which controls the action of a 1-bit multiplexer 53 whose two inputs are the New Sign signal generated in the accumulation section and the original input sign.

	6502.org Tutorials: The Overflow (V) Flag Explained
		The carry flag has two purposes: first, it allows the 6502 to (easily) extend additions and subtractions beyond 8-bit numbers, and second, it indicates when the result is outside the range of 0 to 255.
		So the range of an 8-bit twos complement number is -128 to 127, where -128 to -1 are represented by $80 to $FF, and 0 to 127 are resprented by $00 to $7F.
		First, the range 0 to 127 (the overlap of the unsigned and twos complement ranges) is represented by $00 to $7F, regardless of whether it is unsigned or twos complement.

	Two's Complement Fixed-Point Format
		In two's complement, numbers are negated by complementing the bit pattern and adding 1, with overflow ignored.
		The remaining assignments (for the negative numbers) can be carried out using the two's complement negation rule.
		This is why two's complement is a nice choice: it can be thought of as placing all the numbers on a ``ring,'' allowing temporary overflows of intermediate results in a long string of additions and/or subtractions.

	Two's complement Summary
		In finding the two's complement of a binary number, the bits are inverted, or "flipped", by using the bitwise NOT operation; the value of 1 is then added to the resulting value.
		The decimal value of a two's complement binary number is calculated by taking the value of the most significant bit, where the value is negative when the bit is one, and adding to it the values for each power of two where there is a one.
		When turning a two's complement number with a certain number of bits into one with more bits (e.g., when copying from a 1 byte variable to a two byte variable), the sign bit must be repeated in all the extra bits.

	Twos complement (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Two's complement is the most common representation of negative numbers used in modern computer systems.
		It is basically an improvement on one's complement that removes the necessity to add the carry at the end of an addition.
		Hence 1101 1001 is the representation of -39 in two's complement.

	VB Helper: Tutorial: Twos Complement Numbers
		In ones complement, the negative of a number is represented by flipping the number's bits one at a time.
		You would complement the negative numbers, multiply the positive values, and then set the sign of the result depending on whether X or Y or both was negative.
		Recall that the definition of the twos complement of N is 2^B - N. Suppose X and Y are positive.

	Introduction to Z80 Assembler
		The reason it is called a complement is that we represent negative numbers by inverting each bit of a positive number.
		In ones complement we'd have 11111110 + 00000001 - which is 11111111 and still right as we have two zeros.
		In this case there are two further instructions that take heed of this, ADC and SBC, or add with carry and subtract with carry.

		However, as you may have already noticed, if two bits are inverted (two ones become zeros, for example), the parity of the stream of bits will not change; a receiver will not be able to detect such errors.
		If a computer receives two copies of a message and the bits that comprise them aren't exactly the same, it cannot tell which one of the two is correct.
		So a ones complement sum is a stronger checksum (for example, will detect more errors) than a twos complement sum, and only slightly more expensive.

		It is left to the student to prove that each form of zero is its own twos complement and that the twos complement of a number is its negative.

		It turns out in practice that twos complement notation gives the slickest designs with the fewest transistors to do the work and so it is used in almost all designs.
		For example in 4 bit twos complement numbers the weights are: 1 on the right, then 2, 4 and finally -8 on the left.
		Hence the ones complement + 1 is the negation.

		So if you are using only 8 bits for your twos-complement numbers, then you treat patterns from "00000000" to "01111111" as the whole numbers from 0 to 127, and reserve "1xxxxxxx" for writing negative numbers.
		A negative number, -x, is written using the bit pattern for (x-1) with all of the bits complemented (switched from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1).

		Complement I. To find the first complement of a number, you replace each digit d by the complement 9-d.
		Complement I is sometimes useful by itself, but more often it's useful as a precursor to complement II.
		When the operations are done in binary, the first complement is actually called the ones complement, and the second, twos complement, I think because of that “2” in “2-d”.

		For example, 00000000 is zero, 00000001 is one, 00000010 is two, 00000011 is three, 00000100 is four etc. A good exercise is to be able to "count" in binary from 0 to 10 (00001010 is 10 decimal).
		Unlike sign-magnitude notation, two's complement numbers have only one zero, 00000000; the representation 10000000 is equal to -128.
		If we add normally twos complement representation (throwing away the bit if there is a carry out of the left most bit position which happened in the first example) we see that unsigned binary addition still works.

		Solution: The most important thing to remember about ones complement is that the negative numbers have the bits flipped, but you do not add one; thus they are too low by 1 compared with the twos complement negatives.
		To modify 9.2, just add 1 to the twos complement value when the number is negative (i.e., add the sign bit a_(n-1) to the value), i.e., [-2^(n-1) + Sum_(i=0)^(n-2) 2^i a_i ]+ a_(n-1), where the formula inside [...] is just the formula 9.2 from p.293.
		Thus, a simple algorithm for ones complement addition and subtraction is: do your addition, take the XOR of the three sign bits of A, B, and S, and add the result to S. This means that in some cases, you need to do two additions to get one sum.

		There are many ways of looking at two's complement numbers - the simplest is to regard it as shifting the starting point for a set of numbers.
