A method for speed optimized partial product reduction and generation of fast parallel multipliers using an algorithmic approach

Abstract
This paper presents a method and an algorithm for generation of a parallel multiplier, which is optimized for speed. This method is applicable to any multiplier size and adaptable to any technology for which speed parameters are known. Most importantly, it is easy to incorporate this method in silicon compilation or logic synthesis tools. The parallel multiplier produced by the proposed method outperforms other schemes used for comparison in our experiment. It uses the minimal number of cells in the partial product reduction tree. These findings are tested on design examples simulated in 1 /spl mu/ CMOS ASIC technology.
