Booths Algorithm

The Booth's Multiplication Algorithm is a method for binary multiplication that involves examining multiplier bits and adjusting the partial product based on specific rules. It utilizes an extra flip-flop for double bit inspection and performs arithmetic shifts while decrementing a sequence counter. The algorithm dictates when to add or subtract the multiplicand from the partial product based on the encountered bits in the multiplier.

Booths Multiplication Algorithm


Binary Multiplication
Booths Multiplication Algorithm
• As in all multiplication schemes, Booth
algorithm requires examination of the
multiplier bits and shifting of the partial
product.
• Prior to the shifting, the multiplicand may be
added to the partial product, subtracted from
the partial product, or left unchanged
according to the following rules
• Q, designates the least significant bit of the multiplier in
register QR.
• An extra flip-flop Qn+1 is appended to QR to facilitate a double
bit inspection of the multiplier.
• AC and the appended bit Qn+1 are initially cleared to 0 and the
sequence counter SC is set to a number n equal to the number
of bits in the multiplier.
• The two bits of the multiplier in Q, and Qn+1 are inspected. If
the two bits are equal to 10, it means that the first 1 in a string
of 1' s has been encountered. This requires a subtraction of the
multiplicand from the partial product in AC.
• If the two bits are equal to 01, it means that the first 0 in a
string of 0' s has been encountered. This requires the addition
of the multiplicand to the partial product in AC.
• When the two bits are equal, the partial product does not
change.
• The next step is to shift right the partial
product and the multiplier (including bit
Qn+1).
• This is an arithmetic shift right (ashr)
operation which shifts AC and QR to the right
and leaves the sign bit in AC unchanged.
• The sequence counter is decremented and
the computational loop is repeated n times
Multiplicand : -9
Multiplier: -13
Answer: +117
1. The multiplicand is subtracted from the partial
product upon encountering the first least
significant 1 in a string of 1's in the multiplier.
2. The multiplicand is added to the partial product
upon encountering the first 0 (provided that there
was a previous 1 in a string of O's in the multiplier.
3. The partial product does not change when the
multiplier bit is identical to the previous multiplier
bit.
