The Dadda multiplier is a hardware binary multiplier design invented by computer scientist Luigi Dadda in 1965. [1] It uses a selection of full and half adders to sum the partial products in stages (the Dadda tree or Dadda reduction) until two numbers are left.
With the addition of an OR gate to combine their carry outputs, two half adders can be combined to make a full adder. [2] The half adder adds two input bits and generates a carry and sum, which are the two outputs of a half adder. The input variables of a half adder are called the augend and addend bits. The output variables are the sum and carry.
Add a half adder for weight 2, outputs: 1 weight-2 wire, 1 weight-4 wire; Add a full adder for weight 4, outputs: 1 weight-4 wire, 1 weight-8 wire; Add a full adder for weight 8, and pass the remaining wire through, outputs: 2 weight-8 wires, 1 weight-16 wire; Add a full adder for weight 16, outputs: 1 weight-16 wire, 1 weight-32 wire
A conditional sum adder [3] is a recursive structure based on the carry-select adder. In the conditional sum adder, the MUX level chooses between two n/2-bit inputs that are themselves built as conditional-sum adder. The bottom level of the tree consists of pairs of 2-bit adders (1 half adder and 3 full adders) plus 2 single-bit multiplexers.
A carry-skip adder [nb 1] (also known as a carry-bypass adder) is an adder implementation that improves on the delay of a ripple-carry adder with little effort compared to other adders. The improvement of the worst-case delay is achieved by using several carry-skip adders to form a block-carry-skip adder.
For speed, shift-and-add multipliers require a fast adder (something faster than ripple-carry). [13] A "single cycle" multiplier (or "fast multiplier") is pure combinational logic. In a fast multiplier, the partial-product reduction process usually contributes the most to the delay, power, and area of the multiplier. [7]
A partial full adder, with propagate and generate outputs. Logic gate implementation of a 4-bit carry lookahead adder. A block diagram of a 4-bit carry lookahead adder. For each bit in a binary sequence to be added, the carry-lookahead logic will determine whether that bit pair will generate a carry or propagate a carry.
Three-bit full adder (add with carry) using five Fredkin gates. Three-bit full adder (add with carry) using five Fredkin gates. The "garbage" output bit g is (p NOR q) if r = 0, and (p NAND q) if r = 1. Inputs on the left, including two constants, go through three gates to quickly determine the parity.
