Mercury Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
For a typical 16 16-bit binary tree multiplier, five stages are needed to
determine the final product. The Mercury LE multiplier mode allows the
partial product formation stage (Stage 1) and the first sum of stages
(Stage 2) to be combined in a single stage, shown in
Figure
13. This
feature, combined with the direct connection between RapidLAB lines
and LEs in multiplier mode, allows the fast dedicated implementation of
multipliers.
