Abstract
A system is described which performs the multiplication of two binary numbers in a highly parallel fashion. The number of output levels is kept to a maximum of three. The required logical AND operation is performed using a 2-bits-at-a-time approach. A scheme is also presented for performing the conversion of mixed binary numbers to binary numbers. As the maximum number of output levels is restricted to three, the system's noise immunity is high.
