7. Adders on the Xilinx Virtex Dedicated carry logic provides fast arithmetic carry capability for high- speed arithmetic functions. The Virtex-E CLB supports two separate carry chains, one per Slice. The height of the carry chains is two bits per CLB. The arithmetic logic includes an XOR gate and AND gate that allows a 2- bit full adder to be implemented within a slice. Cin to Cout delay = 0.1ns, versus 0.4ns for F to X delay. How do we map a 2-bit adder to one slice?

8. Carry Look-ahead Adders In general, for n-bit addition best we can achieve is delay  log(n) How do we arrange this? (think trees) First, reformulate basic adder stage: carry “kill” k i = a i ’ b i ’ carry “propagate” p i = a i  b i carry “generate” g i = a i b i c i+1 = g i + p i c i s i = p i  c i a b c i c i+1 s

9. Carry Look-ahead Adders – in blocks “Group” propagate and generate signals: P true if the group as a whole propagates a carry to c out G true if the group as a whole generates a carry Group P and G can be generated hierarchically. pipi gigi p i+1 g i+1 p i+k g i+k P = p i p i+1 … p i+k G = g i+k + p i+k g i+k-1 + … + (p i+1 p i+2 … p i+k )g i c in c out C out = G + PC in

13. Time / Space (resource) Trade-offs Carry select and CLA utilize more silicon to reduce time. Can we use more time to reduce silicon? How few FAs does it take to do addition?

14. Bit-serial Adder Addition of 2 n-bit numbers: –takes n clock cycles, –uses 1 FF, 1 FA cell, plus registers –the bit streams may come from or go to other circuits, therefore the registers may be optional. Requires controller –What does the FSM look like? Implemented? Final carry out? A, B, and R held in shift- registers. Shift right once per clock cycle. Reset is asserted by controller. lsb

16. Basic concept of multiplication multiplicand multiplier 1101 (13) 1011 (11) 1101 0000 1101 * 10001111 (143) Partial products product of 2 n-bit numbers is an 2n-bit number –sum of n n-bit partial products unsigned

17. Combinational Multiplier: accumulation of partial products A0 B0 A0 B0 A1 B1 A1 B0 A0 B1 A2 B2 A2 B0 A1 B1 A0 B2 A3 B3 A2 B0 A2 B1 A1 B2 A0 B3 A3 B1 A2 B2 A1 B3 A3 B2 A2 B3 A3 B3 S6 S5 S4 S3S2 S1S0 S7

18. Array Multiplier Each row: n-bit adder with AND gates What is the critical path? Generates all n partial products simultaneously.

19. “Shift and Add” Multiplier Sums each partial product, one at a time. In binary, each partial product is shifted versions of A or 0. Control Algorithm: 1. P  0, A  multiplicand, B  multiplier 2. If LSB of B==1 then add A to P else add 0 3. Shift [P][B] right 1 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 n-1 times. 5. [P][B] has product. Cost  n,  = n clock cycles. What is the critical path for determining the min clock period?

20. Carry-save Addition Speeding up multiplication is a matter of speeding up the summing of the partial products. “Carry-save” addition can help. Carry-save addition passes (saves) the carries to the output, rather than propagating them. Example: sum three numbers, 3 10 = 0011, 2 10 = 0010, 3 10 = 0011 3 10 0011 + 2 10 0010 c 0100 = 4 10 s 0001 = 1 10 3 10 0011 c 0010 = 2 10 s 0110 = 6 10 1000 = 8 10 carry-save add carry-propagate add In general, carry-save addition takes in 3 numbers and produces 2. Whereas, carry-propagate takes 2 and produces 1. With this technique, we can avoid carry propagation until final addition

21. Carry-save Circuits When adding sets of numbers, carry-save can be used on all but the final sum. Standard adder (carry propagate) is used for final sum.

22. Array Mult. using Carry-save Addition Fast carry- propagate adder

23. Another Representation (from book) Building block: full adder + and 4 x 4 array of building blocks Add CPA

24. Carry-save Addition CSA is associative and communitive. For example: (((X 0 + X 1 ) + X 2 ) + X 3 ) = ((X 0 + X 1 ) +( X 2 + X 3 )) A balanced tree can be used to reduce the logic delay. This structure is the basis of the Wallace Tree Multiplier. Partial products are summed with the CSA tree. Fast CPA (ex: CLA) is used for final sum. Multiplier delay  log 3/2 N + log 2 N

25. Signed Multiplier Signed Multiplication: Remember for 2’s complement numbers MSB has negative weight: ex: -6 = 11010 2 = 02 0 + 12 1 + 02 2 + 12 3 - 12 4 = 0 + 2 + 0 + 8 - 16 = -6 Therefore for multiplication: a) subtract final partial product b) sign-extend partial products Modifications to shift & add circuit: a) adder/subtractor b) sign-extender on P shifter register

26. Signed multiplication multiplicand multiplier 1101 (-3) 1011 (-5) 1101 11010 000000 1101000 * (15) product of 2 n-bit numbers is an 2n-bit number –sum of n n-bit partial products unsigned 1111 Note: 2s complement Sign extension 111 00 1 +(-3)+ + + - +(-6) -(-24) 00001111

27. Signed Array Multiplier b3 0b2 0b1 0b0 0 P7 P6 P5 P4 a0 0 a1 0 a2 0 a3 0 P0 P1 P2 P3 Implicit Sign extension - - - -

28. “Shift and Add” Signed Multiplier Signed extend partial product at each stage Final step is a subtract
