ABSTRACT:
The binary multiplier circuit for obtaining a product of an M-bit multiplier and an N-bit multiplicand includes a multiplier circuit which produces a matrix of original summand bits having M rows and M+N columns and a matrix reduction circuit. In the matrix reduction circuit, for every column of the matrix having three or more original summand bits, groups of three bits are input into full adder circuits which output a sum bit for that column and a carry bit for the column in the next most significant bit position. For every column having three or fewer original summand bits, and having the least significant column position that is not yet reduced to two or fewer bits, groups of two bits are input into a half adder circuit which outputs a sum bit for that column and carry bit for a column in the next most significant bit position. Iterative reductions are performed for each column by using full adder circuits for every group of three bits in a column and by using a half adder circuit for any remaining group of two bits in a column. The reduction continues until each column of the matrix is reduced to two or fewer bits. The remaining two rows of bits can be input to a two-stage carry-propagating adder circuit to output a sum equal to the product.
