I recommend Parhamis book "Computer Arithmetic", see for example chapter 16.5
about HW-implementation of convergence division algorithms. Both pipeline
estimation and LUT-size estimation.
Some other person mentioned Reto Zimmermann. He has some great info, albeit
possibly not very helpful for this problem.
BTW: How about CORDICs? Shouldn't they be useful for this, at least as an
approximation?
