ABSTRACT:
A multiplier in a floating point processor includes a circuit to determine for each bit of the multiplier operand a 3 times booth recode and a booth recode multiplier array which implements a 3 times booth recode multiplication. The multiplier includes logic to determine a fast sign extend to replace bit positions shifted in the array as well as a rounding adder to provide a rounded result while determining the final result from the booth recode multiplier. The multiplier also includes a circuit to determine a contribution to the final multiplication result from a lower order product with out forming the entire product.
