Unsigned multiplier

N

Ndf

Hello,

Thanks to Leon de Boer I found this serial 8x8 bit multiplier:
http://groups.google.fr/group/comp....l+multiplier+16&rnum=3&hl=fr#a65c3688017d3710



Someone can show me how to transform this unsigned multiplier to a signed
one?



Thanks,

Dan.

ENTITY serial_mac IS

multtmp(7 downto 0) <= operand2; -- load operand 2 to

CASE multcnt IS

END CASE;

IF (bit = '1') THEN -- if we have a one

multres <= multres + multtmp; -- add to result

END IF;

multtmp <= multtmp(14 downto 0) & '0'; -- shift to right

multcnt <= multcnt + 1; -- increment count

END IF;

multavail <= multcnt(3); -- result if
available

END PROCESS mac;





END behaviour;

* sign extension (a lot of overhead)
* Baugh-Wooley algorithm
* Booth-Encoding
* res <= std_ulogic_vector(sigend(op_1) * signed(op2));
