ABSTRACT:
A two-bit Booth multiplier circuit performs two-bit multiplication iterations using a single adder while retaining the same data path width and the multiplicand multiples of a single-bit Booth multiplier circuit. The two-bit Booth multiplier circuit halves the number of multiplier iterations of a single-bit multiplier. A multiplier circuit includes an adder having a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal and a plurality of shift registers. The registers include a multiplicand register having an output terminal connected to the first input terminal of the adder, a temporary shift register having an output terminal connected to the second input terminal of the adder and having an input terminal connected to the output terminal of the adder, and a multiplier shift register having an input terminal connected to the output terminal of the adder and the multiplier shift register and having an output terminal. The multiplier circuit further includes a shift logic connected between the adder and the plurality of shift registers and a Booth logic circuit having an input terminal connected to the output terminal of the multiplier shift register and having an output terminal connected to the shift logic. The Booth logic circuit controls a two-bit Booth multiplier operation designating multiplicand partial product operations including +0 and .+-.x partial product operations and implementing .+-.2x partial product operations using the .+-.x multiplicand partial product operations while shifting data from the temporary shift register one bit right on application to the adder.
