Using a CORDIC algorithm would mean having many iterations to compute trigonometric functions for each drawn point (well, for each 8 points considering the symmetries). A variant of the Bresenham line algorithm for circles lets you draw a circle using only a few operations per 8 points (and the operations are also limited to add and shift):
