Abstract
This paper presents an area efficient implementation of a 8 bit high performance parallel multiplier. Radix-8 Booth multiplier with carry look ahead adder and modified carry look ahead adder are presented here. The design is structured for 8 bit multiplication. Carry Look ahead Adder is used as the final adder to enhance the speed of operation. Finally the performance improvement of the proposed multipliers is validated by implementing a multiplier with modified carry look ahead adder. The design entry is done in Verilog and simulated using Model Sim SE 6.4 design suite from Mentor Graphics. It is then synthesized and implemented using Xilinx ISE 9.2i .
