In this project, we are planning to build a Booth Encoded Wallace-tree multiplier. Multipliers are one of the most important parts in signal processing or other computationally intensive applications. Therefore, designing multipliers that are high-speed, low power, and/or regular in layout are of substantial research interest. Many attempts have been made to reduce the number of partial products generated in a multiplication process by using the modified Booth algorithm. Moreover, Wallace Tree CSA structures have been used to sum the partial products in reduced time. In this regard, when both algorithms are combined in one multiplier, we can expect a significant reduction in computing multiplications. Our goal is to reduce computation time by using Booth's algorithm for multiplication and to reduce chip area by using Carry Save Adders arranged in a Wallace tree structure.
