ABSTRACT:
In order to facilitate the performance of multiplications in programmable logic devices, individual logic modules of such devices are constructed so that one logic module can perform (at least) both one place of binary multiplication and one place of full binary addition. This makes it possible to reduce the number of logic modules that are required to perform a multiplication. It also reduces the number of inter-module connections employed in a multiplication, thereby tending to decrease the time required to perform a multiplication.
