Design of Floating-Point Multiplier for Logic and Power Optimization: A Review
Abstract
Floating-point representation of any fractional number offers a wider dynamic range which makes it extremely
compliant and scalable against fixed-point representation. Since fractional numbers are frequently used in computation, such
as in astronomical calculations, graphics processing, and signal processing, floating-point representation becomes the ideal
representation for them. Floating-point multipliers perform differently depending on the multiplier design. The purpose of
this paper is to review various studies done in the field of floating-point multipliers, such as the Modified Booth multiplier,
Array multiplier, Dadda multiplier, Wallace Tree multiplier, and Vedic multiplier. A floating-point multiplier's performance
is evaluated based on a number of attributes, including speed, latency, area, and power consumption. In the design phase,
Verilog HDL is used, and in the simulation phase, Xilinx Isim is used. To implement RTL blocks created with Xilinx ISE
14.7, FPGA devices were used.
