This paper encompasses the implementation of a novel approach to an 8-bit digital multiplier based on Ancient Indian mathematical algorithm (also known as the Vedic sutra) and its comparison with 2 other conventional multipliers. Since multiplication has become a fundamental function in applications such as Fourier transform, Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) architecture and in various sequential clocked circuits, an efficient multiplication technique is a major concern for computer architects. The three multipliers were programmed in Verilog, simulated on Xilinx 14.5 ISE and implemented on 2 FPGA devices, Spartan 3E and Spartan 6. A comparison based on empirical values of delays of each multiplier throws a light on their potential in making the digital circuits substantially efficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
