Abstract
A High Speed Multiplier/Divider for use with high speed processors that have dedicated adders, registers, controls and logic for performing a multiply operation, a multiply and add operation, and a divide operation. The multiply/divide circuit has capability of multiplying a 16 bit word times a 16 bit word that produces a 32 bit product with divide being the inversed of the multiplication operation and may use signed or unsigned multiply/divide. A Booth algorithm is used to implement the multiply operation and the multiply/divide operations are operating asynchronous, that is, at the completion of one set of operations, the next set is implemented.
