Abstract

In this project, we will be discussing about Need of 
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) systems which is 
embedded and portable has been increasing as a 
result of the speed growth of semiconductor 
technology. Multiplier is a most crucial part in 
almost every DSP application. So, the low power, 
high speed multipliers is needed for high speed DSP. 
Array multiplier is one of the fast multiplier because 
it has regular structure and it can be designed very 
easily. Array multiplier is used for multiplication of 
unsigned numbers by using full adders and half 
adders. It depends on the previous computations of 
partial sum to produce the final output. Hence, delay 
is more to produce the output. In the previous work, 
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor 
(CMOS) Carry Look-ahead Adders (CLA) and 
CMOS power gating based CLA are used for 
maximizing the speed of the multiplier and to 
improve the power dissipation with minimum delay. 
CMOS logic is based on radix 2(binary) number 
system. In arithmetic operation, major issue 
corresponds to carry in binary number system. 
Higher radix number system like Quaternary Signed 
Digit (QSD) can be used for performing arithmetic 
operations without carry. The proposed system 
designed an array multiplier with Quaternary Signed 
Digit number system (QSD) based Carry Look
Ahead Adder (CLA) to improve the performance. 
Generally, the quaternary devices require simpler 
circuit to process same amount of data than that needed in binary logic devices. Hence the Quaternary logic is applied in the CLA to improve 
the speed of adder and high throughput. In array 
multiplier architecture, instead of full adders, carry 
look-ahead adder based on QSD are used. This 
facilitates low consumption of power and quick 
multiplication. Tanner EDA tool is used for 
simulating the proposed multiplier circuit in 180 nm 
technology. With respect to area, Power Delay 
Product (PDP), Average power proposed QSD CLA 
multiplier is compared with Power gating CLA and 
CLA multiplier
