ABSTRACT:
A real-time multiplier capable of providing any desired number of the most significant product digits is described. The multiplier and multiplicand are provided concurrently to the multiplier as serial digital numbers. The least significant product digit is provided as the first digit of the serial digits of the product. Undesired less significant product digits are suppressed within the multiplier and do not appear as product digits, thereby allowing the successive operands to be provided to the multiplier without the waiting period between operands which would otherwise be required to allow all product digits to be read out of the multiplier from the previous multiplication. The number of stages in the multiplier is equal to the maximum number of digits in the operand.
