Fine-grained pipelining for multiple constant multiplications (original) (raw)

2015 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), 2015

Abstract

Multiple constant multiplication (MCM) is widely used in several digital signal processing applications. Recently, pipelining techniques have been applied to accelerate the computation of the MCM blocks. The existing pipelining techniques consider the adder stage pipelining, i.e., inserting registers between two adjacent adder stages, to reduce the adder depth. However, the critical path may be still long, even though the adder depth is minimized. In this paper, the adder stage pipelining method is analyzed at bit-level and a novel pipelining method is proposed for pipelining the adders in the MCM block. Experimental results show that the proposed pipelining method provides nearly 32% reduction of critical path over the traditional adder stage pipelining in average for several benchmark MCM blocks, while the area and power consumption are maintained.
