COREGEN: Latency of the Variable Multiplier core


Record #2411

Product Family: Software

Product Line: LogiCore

Product Part: Coregen IP Modules

Problem Title:
COREGEN: Latency of the Variable Multiplier core


Problem Description:
Urgency: standard

General Description:

The variable multiplier is pipelined several times in order to
enable it to run at high frequencies. The latency that
results from pipelining is a function of the width of the B
input.


Solution 1:

The Data is buffered on the input and output of the multiplier
cores. The total latency (number of clocks required to get the
first output) is a function of the width of the B variable
only.

Width of B input data	 Latency (# of clocks)

6 to 8 bits			    4 clocks
9 to 16 bits			   5 clocks
17 to 32 bits			  6 clocks
