7.0
7.1
All PIC18 devices include an 8 x 8 hardware multiplier
as part of the ALU. The multiplier performs an unsigned
operation and yields a 16-bit result that is stored in the
product register pair PRODH:PRODL. The multiplier’s
operation does not affect any flags in the STATUS
register.
Making multiplication a hardware operation allows it to
be completed in a single instruction cycle. This has the
advantages of higher computational throughput and
reduced code size for multiplication algorithms and
allows the PIC18 devices to be used in many
applications previously reserved for digital signal
processors. A comparison of various hardware and
software multiply operations, along with the savings in
memory and execution time, is shown in Table 7-1.
7.2
Example 7-1 shows the instruction sequence for an
8 x 8 unsigned multiplication. Only one instruction is
required when one of the arguments is already loaded
in the WREG register.
Example 7-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiplication. To account for the signed bits of the
arguments, each argument’s Most Significant bit (MSb)
is tested and the appropriate subtractions are done.
