Abstract

In some example embodiments a logical block comprising twelve inputs and two six-input lookup tables (LUTs) is provided, wherein four of the twelve inputs are provided as inputs to both of the six-input lookup tables. This configuration supports efficient field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of multipliers. Each six-input LUT comprises two five-input lookup tables (LUTs) that are used to form Booth encoding multiplier building blocks. The five inputs to each LUTare two bits from a multiplier and three Booth-encoded bits from a multiplicand. By assembling building blocks, multipliers of arbitrary size may be formed.
