Cyclone
support the following modes: one individual 18 bit × 18 bit multiplier per
block, or two individual 9 bit × 9 bit multipliers per block.
In addition to embedded multipliers, Cyclone III FPGAs include a
combination of on-chip resources and external interfaces that helps
increase performance, reduce system cost, and lower the power
consumption of digital signal processing (DSP) systems. You can use
Cyclone III FPGAs alone or as DSP device co processors to improve
price-to-performance ratios of DSP systems. Particular focus has been
placed on optimizing Cyclone III FPGAs for applications benefiting from
an abundance of parallel processing resources including video and image
processing, IF modems used in wireless communications systems, and
multi-channel communications and video systems. Cyclone III FPGA
DSP system design support includes:

This chapter focuses on the Cyclone III embedded multiplier blocks.
Quartus II software makes it easy to take advantage of embedded
multipliers by instantiating multipliers using dedicated megafunction
wizard interfaces or by inferring multipliers directly in VHDL or Verilog
code.
