Abstract
A new radix-3 partitioning method of natural numbers, derived by the weight partition theory, is employed to build a multiplierless circuit that is well suited for multimedia filtering applications. The partitioning method allows conveniently premultiplying 32-b floating-point filter coefficients with the smallest set of parts composing an unsigned integer input. In this way, similar to the distributed arithmetic, shifters and recoding circuitry, typical of other well-known multiplier circuits, are completely substituted with simplified floating-point adders. Compared to the existent literature, targeted to both field-programmable gate array and std_cell technology, the proposed solution achieves state-of-the-art performances in terms of elaboration velocity, achieving a critical path delay of about 2 ns both on a Xilinx Virtex 7 and with CMOS 90-nm std_cells.
