Abstract
A combining circuit and method combines a plurality of terms in a multiplier circuit. The combining circuit includes a first circuit, arranged to receive a first set of the plurality of terms and to combine the first set of terms to produce a first combined term set. The combining circuit also includes a second circuit, arranged to receive a second set of the plurality of terms and to combine the second set of terms to produce a second combined term set. The combining circuit further includes a third circuit, arranged to receive the first and second combined term sets and to combine the first and second combined term sets to produce a third combined term set. The combining circuit outputs the first combined term set as a first combination result and the third combined term set as a second combination result.
