Abstract

This paper presents an extensible multiplier block suitable for embedding in FPGAs. The block is based on the radix-4 modified Booth's algorithm and supports the multiplication of 2's complement, unsigned or mixed-mode operands. The blocks can be cascaded to support larger operand lengths, with the resulting configuration offering a significant speed advantage over existing schemes.
