Description

Computes the square root of a number. There are separate functions for Q15, Q31, and floating-point data types. The square root function is computed using the Newton-Raphson algorithm. This is an iterative algorithm of the form:

      x1 = x0 - f(x0)/f'(x0)
 

where x1 is the current estimate, x0 is the previous estimate and f'(x0) is the derivative of f() evaluated at x0. For the square root function, the algorithm reduces to:

     x0 = in/2                         [initial guess]
     x1 = 1/2 * ( x0 + in / x0)        [each iteration]
