Booth’s Multiplication Algorithm

Booth’s Multiplication Algorithm


• Booth’s Algorithm gives a procedure for
multiplying binary integers in signed-2’s
complement representation.
• It operates on the fact that string 0’s in the
multiplier requires no addition or subtraction
but just shifting and string of 1’s in the
multiplier require addition or subtraction
followed by shifting.
Hardware for booth algorithm
• The algorithm requires the register
configuration as shown in fig.

The following rules are required for Booths Algorithm
1. The multiplicand is subtracted from partial product
upon encountering first LSB 1 in a multiplier.
2. The multiplicand is added to the partial product
upon encountering the first 0(provided that there
was a previous 1) in the multiplier.
3. The partial product does not change when the
multiplier bit is identical to the previous multiplier
bit.
Here an extra flip-flop Qn+1 is appended to QR to
facilitate a double bit inspection of the multiplier.

• Initially AC and Qn+1 bit is cleared to zero and
SC is set to number n equal to number of bits
in multiplier.
• The two bits of the multiplier in Qn and Qn+1
are inspected.
• If two bits are equal to 01, the multiplicand is
added to partial product in AC.
• If two bits are equal to 10, the multiplicand is
subtracted from the partial product in AC.

signed-2’s complement
• When two bits are equal, partial product does
not change.
• The next step is to do arithmetic shift right the
partial product in AC and Multiplier in QR which
leaves the sign bit in AC unchanged.
• The SC is decremented by one and the loop
computation is repeated for n times.
• Finally the result is available in AC and QR with 2’s
complement representation for negative
numbers.

-9 X -13 = + 117
