Area efficient modified vedic multiplier

Abstract

This paper describes the design of high speed Vedic multiplier that uses the techniques of Vedic mathematics based on 16 sutras (algorithms) to improve the performance. In this paper the efficiency of Urdhva Tiryagbhyam (vertical and crosswise) Vedic method for multiplication which is different from the process of normal multiplication is presented. Urdhva-Tiryagbhyam is the most efficient algorithm that gives minimum delay for multiplication for all types of numbers irrespective of their size. Vedic multiplier is coded in Verilog HDL and stimulated and synthesized by using XILINX software 12.2 on Spartan 3E kit. Further the design of array multiplier is compared with the proposed multiplier in terms of delay, memory and power consumption.
