Abstract
An enhanced Booth-encoded adder-array multiplier where the low transition probability partial-products are generated and the adder array has been reorganized to reduce power dissipation when the Booth-encoded input has a large dynamic range. The architecture does not require extra circuits or routing overhead. Power dissipation is reduced by ordering the sequence of partial-product additions such that an increasing sequence of 'transition probabilities' is encountered.
