Design a micro-architecture for a multiplier
Design a full precision multiplier that inputs two 401-bit unsigned operands and outputs their 802-bit product.
The design must be mathematically correct and should consider the following optimization parameters:
- Low area
- High throughput
- Low latency
The design is for a Xilinx Ultrascale+ device and should be focused around sensible usage of the DSP48E2 IP.
Key considerations should include:
DSP48E2 capabilities and utilization Input and output interfacesInterconnecting and cascadingPeripherals such as BRAM and CLB Pipelining and foldingIt is strongly desired for a solution to consider multiple architectures and discuss the tradeoffs between them.
- DSP48E2 capabilities and utilization
- Input and output interfaces
- Interconnecting and cascading
- Peripherals such as BRAM and CLB
- Pipelining and folding
The solution should be presented in the form of detailed block diagrams. Online tools such as draw.io can be used.
