Abstract
An N×N multiplier may include a N/2×N first multiplier, a N/2×N/2 second multiplier, and a N/2×N/2 third multiplier. The N×N multiplier receives two operands to multiply. The first, second and/or third multipliers are selectively disabled if an operand equals zero or has a small value. If the operands are both less than 2, the second or the third multiplier are used to multiply the operands. If one operand is less than 2and the other operand is equal to or greater than 2, the first multiplier is used or the second and third multipliers are used to multiply the operands. If both operands are equal to or greater than 2, the first, second and third multipliers are used to multiply the operands.
