Abstract
The problem of high-speed multiplication is considered from the viewpoint of summand generation and summand summation. The goal is to obtain at least a 2's-complement, 32-bit floating-point (sign plus 24-bit fraction) multiplication in 10 to 20 ns using ECL LSI packages. Summand generation is implemented by mxm-bit multipliers. The optimum values for m are 9, 13, 17, or 21. Summand summation is implemented by a row of (p, 2) column-summing counters. The (3, 2), (5, 2), and (7, 2) counters are optimum choices. These counters compress p inputs into two outputs plus nonpropagating carry bits, where these bits are added to the next higher-order stage with at most two full adder delays.
