A well-structured modified Booth multiplier design

This paper proposes a well-structured modified Booth encoding (MBE) multiplier architecture. The design adopts an improved Booth encoder and selector to achieve an extra-row-removal and a hybrid spare-tree approach to design two’s complementation circuit to both reduce the area and improve the speed. Experimental results on a 32 bit multiplier show that it obtains area and power savings of 15.8% and 11.7% respectively over the classical design and of 7.5% and 5.5% respectively over the design of the best performance reported so far.
