9.0
All PIC17C75X devices have an 8 x 8 hardware multi-
plier included in the ALU of the device. By making the
multiply a hardware operation, it completes in a single
instruction cycle. This is an unsigned multiply that gives
a 16-bit result. The result is stored into the 16-bit
PRODuct register (PRODH:PRODL). The multiplier
does not affect any flags in the ALUSTA register.
Making the 8 x 8 multiplier execute in a single cycle
gives the following advantages:
• Higher computational throughput
• Reduces code size requirements for multiply algo-
The performance increase allows the device to be used
in applications previously reserved for Digital Signal
Processors.
Table 9-1 shows a performance comparison between
PIC17CXXX devices using the single cycle hardware
multiply, and performing the same function without the
hardware multiply.
Example 9-1 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8
unsigned multiply. Only one instruction is required
when one argument of the multiply is already loaded in
the WREG register.

Example 9-2 shows the sequence to do an 8 x 8 signed
multiply. To account for the sign bits of the arguments,
each argument’s most significant bit (MSb) is tested
and the appropriate subtractions are done.
