Verilog allows you to implement an 8-bit multiplier using several different abstraction levels:
An 8‑bit multiplier takes two 8‑bit binary numbers as inputs (the multiplicand and the multiplier) and produces a 16‑bit product. The multiplication is performed using the same principle as manual long multiplication: each bit of the multiplier is examined, and if it is 1 , the multiplicand is shifted appropriately and added to an accumulating sum.
This decomposition shows why a signed 8‑bit multiplier requires correction terms that are absent in an unsigned design.
// Wires for sum and carry outputs of adders wire [15:0] sum_grid [0:6]; // Rows 0 to 6 contain adders wire [15:0] carry_grid [0:6];
// Zero case #10 A = 8'h00; B = 8'hAA; #10 check_result(0, 170, 0);
Happy coding, and may your multipliers always be correct!
However, the * operator is a "black box" — you don't see how the multiplication is actually carried out. Here are the principal techniques you'll find implemented in open-source projects:
Before diving into the source code, it is important to understand how synthesis tools interpret Verilog code. Behavioral Modeling
