MALU-an ALU with single period multiplication

Abstract

An ALU design which can perform Mbit/spl times/Nbit multiplication within single instruction period is presented in this paper. The architecture, operation control and logic for this ALU are given. Logical and spice (with 2 /spl mu/m CMOS technology) simulation results are also given. It can be used in MPUs and MCUs to enhance their computation capability.
