Abstract
An integrated circuit which has two separate paths for two different data widths. The first processing path processes data up to n bits in a n multiplier. A second path operates in parallel with the first path, and includes smaller units which process data up to n 2 bits. The two paths can operate in parallel, but since the two paths have different data widths, they can more effectively operate with the different data sizes.
