Multiplication

Abstract

A key function in any hardware design that requires signal processing is multiplication. In order to implement such a function it is useful to introduce the basic methods for binary multiplication from first principles so that the implemented approaches can be understood. In this chapter we will describe these methods and illustrate them with VHDL and Verilog.
