This paper presents performance comparisons between two multipliers architectures. The first architecture consists of a pure array uses a radix-4 encoding to reduce the partial product lines. The second describe a design methodology to physically implement these architectures in with the pipelined Modified Booth. We compare the physical implementations in terms of area, power and delay. The results show that the new pipelined array multiplier can be significantly more efficient, with close to 16% power savings and 55% power savings when considering non-pipelined architectures. delay results. Up to now only results at the logic level were presented in WWW home page: http://www.inesc-id.pt multiplier that was modified to handle the sign bits in 2's complement and a pipelined and non-pipelined form, obtaining area, power consumption and architecture implemented was the widely used Modified Booth multiplier. We
