The conventional modified Booth encoding (MBE) generates an irregular partial product array because of the extra partial product bit at the least significant bit position of each partial product row. In this brief, a simple approach is proposed to generate a regular partial product array with fewer partial product rows and negligible overhead, thereby lowering the complexity of partial product reduction and reducing the area, delay, and power of MBE multipliers. The proposed approach can also be utilized to regularize the partial product array of posttruncated MBE multipliers. Implementation results demonstrate that the proposed MBE multipliers with a regular partial product array really achieve significant improvement in area, delay, and power consumption when compared with conventional MBE multipliers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
