Summary :

This paper describes a new algorithm for configuring the array of adders used to add the partial products in a multiplier circuit. The new algorithm reduces not only the number of half adders in an adder tree, but also the number of operands passed to the block generating the final product in a multiplier. The arrays obtained with this algorithm are smaller than Wallace's ones and have fewer outputs than Dadda's arrays. We show some evaluation figures and preliminary simulation results of 4, 8 and 16-bit tree configurations.
