Comparative Design of Regular Structured Modified Booth Multiplier

Multiplication is a crucial function and plays a vital role for practically any DSP system. Several DSP algorithms require different types of multiplications, specifically modified booth multiplication algorithm. In this paper, a simple approach is proposed for generating last partial product row for reducing extra sign (negative bit) bit to achieve more regular structure. As compared to the conventional multipliers these proposed modified Booth’s multipliers can achieve improved reduction in area 5.9%, power 3.2%, and delay 0.5% for 8 x 8 multipliers. We can also observe that achievable improvement for 16 x 16 multiplier in area, power, delay are 4.0%, 2.3%, 0.3% respectively. These multipliers are implemented using verilog HDL and synthesized by using synopsis design compiler with an Artisan TSMC 90nm Technology

A Modified Architecture for Radix-4 Booth Multiplier with Adaptive Hold Logic

High speed digital multipliers are most efficiently used in many applications such as Fourier transform, discrete cosine transforms, and digital filtering. The throughput of the multipliers is based on speed of the multiplier, and then the entire performance of the circuit depends on it. The pMOS transistor in negative bias cause negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), which increases the threshold voltage of the transistor and reduces the multiplier speed. Similarly, the nMOS transistor in positive bias cause positive bias temperature instability (PBTI).These effects reduce the transistor speed and the system may fail due to timing violations. So here a new multiplier was designed with novel adaptive hold logic (AHL) using Radix-4 Modified Booth Multiplier. By using Radix-4 Modified Booth Encoding (MBE), we can reduce the number of partial products by half. Modified booth multiplier helps to provide higher throughput with low power consumption. This can adjust the AHL circuit to reduce the performance degradation. The expected result will be reduce threshold voltage, increase throughput and speed and also reduce power. This modified multiplier design is coded by Verilog and simulated using Xilinx ISE 12.1 and implemented in Spartan 3E FPGA kit.

Implementation of Power Reduction Adder with High Recital Multiplier

In the rising portable device markets, low power circuits are becoming more eye catching. A Multiplier is the heart of most digital and high performance systems such as processors and filters. Carry save, Wallace tree, Array, Booth and modified booth multipliers are the various multiplier which have been established by many researchers. For the present day application, based on Vedic mathematics, Vedic multipliers are currently under emphasis due to their high speed and low power consumption. In this broadsheet, using fast adders, we propose a design of 8 bit multipliers (Hybrid CMOS, Carry save Adder and Carry Select Adder)to reduce the power delay product of multipliers anticipated for high recital and low power. Implementation results demonstrate that the proposed Vedic multipliers with fast adders really attain major enhancement in delay and power-delay product when compared with the conventional multipliers.

High Speed Area Efficient Halfband FIR Filter Design

Filter design is very important in communication and signal processing applications. This paper proposes the design of high speed area efficient halfband FIR filter structures. For this halfband filters only odd coefficients are considered. Conventional halfband, desensitized and further desensitized halfband FIR filters are the three halfband FIR filters considered here with order 10 and 22. Conventional halfband filters have hk coefficients (h0,h1,h3,h5,….). For desensitized halfband FIR filters the ak coefficients (a0, a1, a2,…) are derived from hk coefficients and for further desensitized halfband FIR filter the bk coefficients(b0,b1,b2,…) are further derived from hk coefficients. This can be exploited in the filter-design process to yield halfband FIR filters with reduced complexity, leading to lower area and higher operating speeds for further desensitized halfband FIR filters. For the filter design modified booth multipliers and ripple carry adders are used to get improved performance. The simulation is done using Verilog and the analysis and synthesis is done with Altera, cyclone II family and the results are reported. The hardware implementation is done using Altera DE2 Board. The results shows that, less area and high speed is achieved with further sensitized halfband filter structures when compared to the other two structures.

Area Efficient Low Power Modified Booth Multiplier for FIR Filter

Finite impulse response (FIR) filters are extensively used in various digital signal processing applications such as digital audio, image processing, data transmission, biomedical etc. In some applications, the FIR filter circuit must be capable to operate at high sample rates, while in other applications, the FIR filter circuit must be a low power circuit operating at moderate sample rates. FIR filters design implementation consist a large number of multiplications, which leads to excessive area and power consumption. The topology of the multiplier circuit affects the resultant area and power consumption. In this paper a new area efficient low power FIR filter design is proposed using a spanning tree based modified Booth multiplier realized in direct form. An area efficient modified spanning tree adder is also proposed, which enhances the area efficiency of FIR filter. The design is implemented using Xilinx 14.2 ISE tools, Model Sim, programming in VHDL. For implementation of the FIR filter, MATLAB Simulink tool is employed to determine various filter coefficients.

An optimised twin precision multiplier for ASIC environment

In this paper, we present the performance of twin precision technique in reduced computation modified booth (RCMB) multiplier to achieve double throughput, and an algorithm is proposed. Twin precision technique is the efficient way to obtain double throughput in the multipliers. We describe how to apply twin precision technique to RCMB multipliers. Implementation of twin precision in RCMB multiplier requires lesser changes to be made in partial product array for obtaining double throughput. Multiplexers usually do the signal selection for N and N/2 bit multiplication. In RCMB multiplier, [N/2] + 1 partial product are reduced to N/2 rows. Our idea of implementing twin precision technique to RCMB results in less utilisation of multiplexers of about [N/2] + 3 which gave a way for optimization in the twin precision (TP) multiplier. Thereby, we have achieved the drastic reduction in multiplexer utilisation of about 40% to 50% (for N = 8 to 128) compared to the existing twin precision modified booth multiplier. In our proposed optimised TP modified booth multiplier this reduction in multiplexers gave a way for overall reduction in area, power and delay. Lesser utilisation of multiplexer results in the area reduction of about 5% to 18%, delay of 5% to 20% and a considerable reduction in power of 8% to 32% were noticed in the proposed TP booth multiplier for N = 8 to 128. Our proposed optimised TP multiplier is implemented in FFT complex multiplication which is taken as an application case study and achieves better performance (area, delay and power) compare to prior TP multiplier. All our evaluation are made using cadence RTL compiler using TSMC 180 nm library.

VLSI Implementation of Area-Efficient Truncated Modified Booth Multiplier for Signal Processing Applications

In this paper, hardware efficient truncated multiplier using modified booth algorithm is proposed for signed bit multiplication, such that the average absolute error is kept minimum. The proposed methodology truncates the least significant bits (LSBs) of the final product and thus minimizes the number of full adders and half adders used in partial product accumulation. This we achieve by non-generation of an initial partial product and deletion of certain LSBs in higher order partial products. To minimize the error due to non generation and omission, we add compensation bits at appropriate retained bit positions. Experimental analysis of the proposed truncation algorithm implemented in modified booth encoded multiplier using Synopsys design compiler demonstrates area saving of nearly 25.1 % for an 8 × 8 design. The functionality of the proposed design is verified by implementing in a signal processing system.

Area Efficient Fft/Ifft Processor for Wireless Communication

Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) processing is one of the key procedures in popular Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems. Structured pipeline architectures, low power consumption, high speed and reduced chip area are the main concerns in this VLSI implementation. In this paper, the efficient implementation of FFT/IFFT processor for OFDM applications is presented. The processor can be used in various OFDM-based communication systems, such as worldwide interoperability for Microwave access (Wi-Max), Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVBT). We adopt single-path delay feedback architecture. To eliminate the Read Only Memories (ROM’s) used to store the twiddle factors, this proposed architecture applies a reconfigurable complex multiplier to achieve a ROM-less FFT/IFFT processor and to reduce the truncation error we adopt the fixed width modified booth multiplier. The three Processing Elements (PE’s), Delay-Line (DL) buffers are used for computing IFFT. Thus we consume the low power, lower hardware cost, and high efficiency and reduced chip size.

Design and Implementation of High-Speed and Energy-Efficient Variable-Latency Speculating Booth Multiplier (VLSBM)

Data hazards cause severe pipeline performance degradation for data-intensive computing processes. To improve the performance under a pessimistic assumption on the pipeline efficiency, a high-speed and energy-efficient VLSBM is proposed that successively performs a speculating and correcting phase. To reduce the critical path, the VLSBM partial products are partitioned into the (n-z)-bit least significant part (LSP) and the self-reliant (n+z)-bit most significant part (MSP), and an estimation function stochastically predicts the carry to the MSP, thereby allowing independent calculation of the partial-product accumulation of parts. When a carry prediction is accurate, the data dependence is hidden and the correcting phase is bypassed, thereby ensuring the potential speed-up of the pipelined datapath. If a prediction is inaccurate, the speculation is flushed and the correcting phase is executed to obtain the exact multiplication. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed VLSBM. When applied to a DSP algorithm with a data hazard (or dependence) probability P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">D</sub> , 0 ≤ P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">D</sub> ≤ 1, the results show that the proposed VLSBM outperforms the original Booth multiplier and the fastest conventional well-pipelined modified Booth multiplier when P <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">D</sub> > 0.32.

By examining multiplications during three multimedia application processes (i.e., JPEG compression, object detection, and H.264/AVC decoding), the proposed VLSBM improves the speed-up ratio by approximately 1.0 to 1.4 times, and reduces the cycle count ratio by approximately 1.3 to 1.8 times in comparison to the fastest conventional two-stage pipelined Booth multiplier.

Systematic Analysis on Power Consumption in Conventional Cmos, Multiplexer Based and Hybrid Adder

There has been a rapid increase in the popularity of portable and wireless electronic devices, like laptop computers, portable video players cellular phones, which rely on embedded digital signal processors. Since the desire is to design digital systems at best performance without power sacrifices, the need for high performance and low power multipliers is inevitable. Since multiplication is one of the most critical operations in many computational systems, Multipliers are in fact complex adder arrays. In this paper we performed a comparative analysis on power consumption in three different adders, each offering different advantages and having tradeoffs in terms of circuit complexity and power consumption. The 28 Transistor full adder is the pioneer CMOS traditional adder circuit. Which is the one which consume more power when compare to other two adder, the number of transistors required for conventional CMOS adder is 28. Recently, it has been proved that the multiplexer-based multiplier outperforms the modified Booth multiplier both in speed and power dissipation by 13% to 26%, due to small internal capacitance. After analyzing the performance characteristics of conventional multiplier types, it is observed that the one designed using multiplexer-based multiplication algorithm is more advantageous, especially when the size of the multiplied numbers is small. The number of transistors required for multiplexer based adder is 16. In order to achieve optimal power savings at smaller geometry sizes, we proposed a heuristic approach known as hybrid adder models. The hybrid adder models which consume low power among all three adder and the number of transistors required is 12. As an added advantage there will be no path from one voltage level (VDD) to the other (GND).The elimination of the direct path to the ground removes the short circuit power component for the adder module. This reduces the total energy consumed in the circuit and making it an energy efficient design. The SERF adder is not only energy efficient but also area efficient due to its low transistor count.

Implementation of High Speed Modified Booth Multiplier and Accumulator (Mac) Unit

The most effective way to increase the speed a is to reduce the number the partial products because multiplication precedes a series additions for the partial products. To reduce the number calculation steps for the partial products, MBA algorithm has been applied mostly where CSA has taken the role increasing the speed to add the partial products. To increase the speed the MBA algorithm, many parallel multiplication architectures have been researched. A modified booth has been designed which provides a flexible arithmetic capacity and a tradeoff between output precision and power consumption due to using SPST architecture. Moreover, the ineffective circuitry can be efficiently deactivated, thereby reducing power consumption and increasing speed operation. The experimental results have shown that the proposed outperforms the conventional in terms power and speed operation. In this paper we used Xilinx-ISE tool for logical verification, and further synthesizing it on Xilinx-ISE tool using target technology and performing placing & routing operation for system verification. I. Introduction Fast multipliers are essential parts digital signal processing systems. The speed multiply operation is great importance in digital signal processing as well as in the general purpose processors today, especially since the media processing took off. In the past multiplication was generally implemented via a sequence addition, Subtraction, and shift operations. Multiplication can be considered as a series repeated additions. The number to be added is the multiplicand, the number times that it is added is the multiplier, and the result is the product. Each step addition generates a partial product. In most computers, the operand usually contains the same number bits. When the operands are interpreted as integers, the product is generally twice the length operands in order to preserve the information content. This repeated addition method that is suggested by the arithmetic definition is slow that it is almost always replaced by an algorithm that makes use positional representation. It is possible to decompose multipliers into two parts. The first part is dedicated to the generation partial products, and the second one collects and adds them. The basic multiplication principle is two fold, i.e. evaluation partial products and accumulation the shifted partial products. It is performed by the successive Additions the columns the shifted partial product matrix. The multiplier is successfully shifted and gates the appropriate bit the multiplicand. The delayed, gated instance the multiplicand must all be in the same column the shifted partial product matrix. They are then added to form the product bit for the particular form. Multiplication is therefore a multi operand operation. To extend the multiplication to both signed and unsigned numbers, a convenient number system would be the representation numbers in twos complement format. Multipliers are key components many high performance such as FIR filters, microprocessors, digital signal processors, etc. A systems performance is generally determined by the performance the because the is generally the slowest clement in the system. Furthermore, it is generally the most area consuming. Hence, optimizing the speed and area the is a major design issue. However, area and speed are usually conflicting constraints so that improving speed results mostly in larger areas. As a result, whole spectrums multipliers with different area-speed constraints are designed with fully parallel processing. In between are digit serial multipliers where single digits consisting several bits are operated on. These multipliers have moderate performance in both speed and area. However, existing digit serial multipliers have been plagued by complicated switching and/or irregularities in design. Radix 2^n multipliers which operate on digits in a parallel fashion instead bits bring the pipelining to the digit level and avoid most the above problems. They were introduced by M. K. Ibrahim in 1993. These structures are iterative and modular. The pipelining done at the digit level brings the benefit constant operation speed irrespective the size of the multiplier. The clock speed is only determined by the digit size which is already fixed before the design is implemented. Booth's multiplication algorithm Booth's algorithm can be implemented by repeatedly adding (with ordinary unsigned binary addition) one two predetermined values A and S to a product P, then performing a rightward arithmetic shift on P. Let

An Efficient Digital Gammatone Filter Architecture for Cochlear Implant

This paper presents the implementation of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) architecture for the digital filter of Cochlear implant to achieve low power, high performance and minimum area. To obtain the best outcome on auditory signals, the more suitable differential all pole gammatone filter is designed in the digital domain, where the reconfigurability can be attained. Also, to acquire non-linear phase response of the target filter for mimicking the bionic ear, infinite impulse response filter realisation is used. The high performance of this filter is accomplished by using highly efficient adders, multipliers and appropriate delays. In order to minimise the power consumption due to huge adder circuitry, ripple carry adder is used here to provide less power consumption. The application of modified booth multipliers with a regular partial product array results in adequate improvement in the area, delay and power consumption when compared with other multipliers. The optimised results for the architecture of filter were achieved using VLSI signal processing concepts like data broadcasting and retiming. The filter is modeled in Verilog HDL and synthesised by using RTL Compiler in 0.13 mm technology. Simulation results show that the area and power consumption of the designed filter are 0.105 mm2 and 760 mW, respectively.
