Abstract :
The authors introduce a multiplier generator presenting two major novel features: Booth/Wallace multipliers can be embedded in a data path, and a design strategy based on intelligent silicon compilation allows user-directed detailed refinement. This generator produces a smaller, faster, and safer design than an equivalent one manually completed. Moreover, it generates Csa-tree/Booth multipliers embedded in data paths, which has seldom been achieved, especially for big multipliers.<>
