9 × 9 Multiplier

Embedded Multiplier

All 9-bit multiplier inputs and results are independently sent through registers. The

multiplier inputs can accept signed integers, unsigned integers, or a combination of

both. Two 9 × 9 multipliers in the same embedded multiplier block share the same

signa and signb signal. Therefore, all the Data A inputs feeding the same embedded

multiplier must have the same sign representation. Similarly, all the Data B inputs

feeding the same embedded multiplier must have the same sign representation.
