Uses Booth’s radix-2 or radix-4 algorithm to reduce the number of partial products by half.
Most GitHub repositories for an "8-bit multiplier" will default to the array multiplier or sequential shift-add due to their simplicity.
This repository contains a synthesizable Verilog model for an 8-bit unsigned multiplier. The multiplier takes two 8-bit inputs, A and B, and produces a 16-bit product P = A * B. The design is purely combinational and optimized for FPGA and ASIC flows.
Multiplication is a fundamental arithmetic operation in digital systems, appearing in DSP blocks, CPUs, and ALUs. This implementation provides a balance between area, speed, and clarity, making it suitable for educational purposes and lightweight embedded processing.
Remember: 8-bit × 8-bit = 16-bit. Many beginners truncate the result to 8 bits. Never do this unless you explicitly want modulo multiplication.
