Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for the generation of partial products for VLSI fast parallel multiplier. It adopts a new encoding method which halves the number of partial products using 2x2 submultipliers and rearrangement of primitive partial products. The true 4-input CSA can be achieved with appropriate rearrangement of primitive partial products out of 2x2 submultipliers using the newly proposed theorem on binary number system. A 16bit x 16bit multiplier has been desinged using the proposed method and simulated to prove that the method has comparable speed and area compared to booth's encoding method. Much smaller and faster multiplier could be obtained with far optimization. The proposed scheme can be easily extended to multipliers with inputs of higher resolutions.
