  • Abstract
    The Booth (1951) encoding technique, used in parallel multipliers seems to be obsolete because of the improvement of compression trees using 4:2 compressors. This article compares the two techniques in the case of different lengths of multipliers, and it appears that the reduction bit with 4:2 compressors allows a higher speed and a highly regular layout since the schematic is simple and repetitive.
