An Overview And Review On Multiplier In VHDL

Abstract

Multipliers are most commonly used in various electronic applications e.g. Digital signal processing in which multipliers are used to perform various algorithms like FIR, IIR etc. Digital computer arithmetic is an aspect of logic design with the objective of developing appropriate algorithms in order to achieve an efficient utilization of the available hardware. The basic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In this, we are going to deal with the operation of additions implemented to the operation of multiplication. The repeated form of the addition operations and shifting results in the multiplication operations. Given that the hardware can only perform relatively simple and primitive set of Boolean operations, arithmetic operations are based on a hierarchy of operations that are built upon the simple ones. In VLSI designs, speed, power and chip area are the most often used measures for determining the performance and efficiency of the VLSI architecture. Multiplications and additions are most widely and more often used arithmetic computations performed in all digital signal processing applications.
