FPGA implementation of proficient Vedic multiplier architecture using hybrid carry select adder

Nowadays, the application of computations and communications is needed for high performance, reduced size and lower power utilisation. The multiply and add functions are one of the frequently used operations in digital signal processing. Various types of multipliers are available in digital Various types of multipliers are available for various Signal processing applications.. Among these multipliers, Vedic multiplier is one of the most optimised multipliers used in a signal processing module. In the existing method, the Vedic multiplier is designed with conventional adders, which is having higher area utilisation, lower speed and higher power consumption. Hence, the modified Vedic multiplier is proposed to improve the speed of multiplication using hybrid technology. The partial products of the proposed multiplication are added using 2 x 2 Vedic multiplier and hybrid carry select adder (binary to excess one converter (BEC), Han-Carlson adder and Multiplexer). The critical path delays of hybrid 4 x 4 Vedic multiplier are the summation of 2 x 2 Vedic multiplier, two full adders, two multiplexers and two BECs for producing the final product. The proposed hybrid Vedic multiplier is operated at high speed with reduced size as compared to the existing multiplier techniques. The proposed hybrid Vedic multiplier is designed and simulated using Verilog HDL and implemented in Spartan 6 field-programmable gate array device. The implementation results showed that the delay of the proposed multiplier gets ameliorated as compared to array multiplication (30.84%), Wallace tree multiplication (29.52%), multiplication based on compressor (23.71%), Vedic multiplication by carry look-ahead adder (22.91%), Vedic multiplication by ripple carry adder (14.45%), revised booth multiplication (15.42%) and Vedic multiplication by Han-Carlson adder with BEC (13.95%) and hybrid multiplier (11.37%).
